This can appear when she is cold, if it disappears with warming her by clothing her well, then need not worry.
Watch for activity of the child. If it doesn’t disappear with this, consult with paediatrician.

It is called cutis marmorata, though it can occur in conditions like when the baby is cold after bathing and certain other conditions, most commonly it occurs in normal babies
If your baby is feeding well , passing urine 6 to 8 times , sleeping normally after feeds, then nothing to worry.
Next Steps
Keeping warm and avoiding sudden temperature changes usually helps. If cutis marmorata is recurrent or linked to an underlying condition, treating the primary cause is important
