baby eye color

[quarry206]

of the dads on here, did any of your babies come out with blue eyes and then change colors?

My girl is 5months old and has these deep blue eyes. but she is mixed, so everybody keeps telling us they will change.. which I know does happen from time to time. but does anybody know about what age you will know for sure the eye color?

[ni4ni]

daughter...blues eyes to brown

[Undercover]

if it changes, then she was never meant to have blue eyes. if it's temporarily blue, it's because she's not producing enough melanin as a 5 month old baby to make them brown or whatever her real eye colour is. i'd say maybe 7 more months and you'd know for sure.

wtf....does she's 'mixed' mean??

none of ours (me and my siblings) changed color...but then again we were all supremely healthy and 4 of us were born at home so no vaccinations to **** us up

then no...her eyes will not stay blue

[Kratos]

my eyes were blue for quite awhile
and my hair was blonde until I was at least 5

Now I have brown eyes and pretty dark brown hair
it's pretty common for babies who will have brown eyes to be born with blue

now I use blue contacts to change them back to my baby eyes, the girls like it

you are proof that vaccinations don't cause all autism
and you're extrememly stupid if you think vaccinations are a bad thing

You inherit your eye color from your parents, but no matter what the color is now, it may have been blue when you were born. Why? Melanin, the brown pigment molecule that colors your skin, hair, and eyes, hadn't been fully deposited in the irises of your eyes or darkened by exposure to ultraviolet light. The iris is the colored part of the eye that controls the amount of light that is allowed to enter. Some other animals are born with blue eyes, too, such as kittens.

Melanin is a protein. Like other proteins, the amount and type you get is coded in your genes. Irises containing a large amount of melanin appear black or brown. Less melanin produces green, gray, or light brown eyes. If your eyes contain very small amounts of melanin, they will appear blue or light gray. People with albinism have no melanin in their irises and their eyes may appear pink because the blood vessels in the back of their eyes reflect light.

Melanin production generally increases during the first year of a baby's life, leading to a deepening of eye color. The color is often stable by about 6 months of age. However, several factors can affect eye color, including use of certain medications and environmental factors. Some people experience changes in eye color over the course of their lives. People can have eyes of two colors. Even the genetics of eye color inheritance isn't as cut-and-dried as was once thought, as blue-eyed parents have been known (rarely) to have a brown-eyed child!

I had 2 kids, so I know about the protien in the irises.but this was an excellent read.

Thanxs

There you go.

[stpete]

My daughter went from blue to brown. My son always had brown.

[TITANIUM]

My X wife went from blue to brown.

Then from brown to jet black!!!

Devil's eyes!!!

[sigman roid]

All four of mine went from blue to brown

[CBGB]

My first two children went from blue to hazal. My third one is four months now and still has blue eyes. I asked the Dr. about it at her appointment last week and he said they will probably stay blue. He told me that if their eyes are going to change they usually have a grayish tint to the blue. He said a baby with a deep blue/ true blue eye color (much like your child) past the 3-4 month stage, they will typically stay that color.

Your child is beautifull!

[fitluv09]

most babies are born with that dark blue color.

[Football_Bill]

My son was blue and is still blue at almost 3.

My daughter was born brown, and at 8 monthes they look like they are going hazel or blue.

So the answer to your question, just wait and see.

[Narkissos]

then no...her eyes will not stay blue

I dunno about that.

I know two blue-eyed black people here.

One's a chick who works in the modeling agency I consult on... The other's a dude who's a salesman.

Me, I was born with blue eyes... which shifted to hazel (they're predominantly green, with splashes of what looks like an orange-brown).

The rest of my siblings started with brown, which shifted to a darker hazel.
