It's very, very hard, impossible in some cases. If you know the parents' genotype, then you can make a Punnett Square, but it's also possible that you might be left with just the probabilities of what might happen. Parents may go to genetic counseling to help determine the genotype of their child, especially if there is a history of a certain disorder in the family. As genetic engineering and "designer babies" become more and more common, then parents will be able to decide the genotype of their baby before it is even conceived.

It all depends on the parents. Say for instance if parent A has blond hair and parent B has brown hair, chances are the baby will have brown hair. Darker genes dominant over lighter genes, usualy. For more information see the related link below.
