My son was born with grey eyes. Then they started to have a blue-ish tint, now their turning into a dark green/hazel and hes only 3 months.. I wonder how many times they will change before he's a year old, haha

my daughter was born with sky blue eyes and they have stayed the same colour! she has big blue eyes and its hard 2 say no when she looks at you pleading 2 get what she wants!lol i think if your son is nw 6 months that the colour they are nw is the way they will stay!

My son's eye's were blue when he was born but got lighter and went grey like mine after a couple of weeks. I was gutted at 6 months when they started to go brown like his dad's and they've stayed brown, he's now 2 years and 7 months old. I'm hoping my daughter's eye's will stay the same colour as mine but have been told by the health visitor that brown is the most dominant colour so expect she'll change around 6 months too. She'll be 12 weeks on monday.

I have heard a babies eye color can change all the way up to 2 years old. My son is One and when he was born his eyes were like a dark dark grey marble color, its hard to explain they werent really a specific color. They looked more hazel then anything and my husband has hazel eyes so I thought thats what they would be. Now at one years old they are like a light brown, but sometimes they look a little like hazel, I know hazel can change depending on what your wearing but I dont know cuz his mostly look light brown. My eyes are really dark brown, so i think his eyes are just still changing and so i think he got stuck with my boring brown eyes. But he is still cue as ever. Oh but i hear if your baby is born with brown eyes they usually dont change I think its blue that can change as they grow and hazel type colors. I hope my answer was helpful :)

Hi there. Mine was also with dark blue and now at 9 months theyr a little lighter blue.If they have blue eyes it stays that colour. My brother, mother and father have brown eyes i was born with blue, so it happens:) Blues divine tho esp in babies:) nix

My son is 3 and his eyes change daily. lol. They were a lot darker blue when he was born but now they are more green I guess sort of an aqua color but almost depends on mood with him. lol.
My daughter is almost 2 and has the same biggest brightest blue eyes I've ever seen... and honestly I hope they don't change. Both hubby and I have blue eyes but his mother and all 4 of his siblings have brown so I think that where my sons sort of greenish came in. My whole side of the family has blue eyes so I think my daughters will stay.
I think our eyes continue to change forever... and I'm not sure what professionals say but I don't think my eyes are as vibrant as they were when I was a kid... that could just be tiredness from having my own kids. lol

I was born with blue/grey eyes that turned brown but then when I was in high school my eyes lightened up to a hazel with green flakes. My son was born with blue/grey and now at 5 1/2 months they look grey but seem to change to a blue or brown depending on what he's wearing. His daddy has blue eyes with flakes of green but my grandmother has grey so maybe they'll stay grey.

Christina - posted on 03/25/2010

My son was born with blue/gray eyes, he was 2 years old before they changes to hazel green and he doesn't have mine or his fathers eye color he his grandmothers eye color. My daughter was born with gray eyes and at about 6 months they changed to brown. So it varies in each child some eyes wont change at all. and just because you and your husband have different color eyes don't always mean your child with have one of you two's eye color. he could wind up have the same eye color as a grandparent or from another relative even could be a late, late relative. I hope this helps Take care!!

My son's eyes started that same dark blue (as do most babies) and at 3 months they started lightening and at 6 months now, they are about the same exact color as his daddys eyes which is a light blue.

Isel - posted on 03/25/2010

That is never for sure that they will change but my daugther born with light blue eyes , 2 weeks after birth they turned dark grey, a month old they were dark green until she turned about 7 months and they become light brown like mines. So You have a big chance that they either will not change or one day you wake up and his eyes will be greenish/hazelish just like yours .

Don't ever believe anyone if they say whatever color the childs eyes are by 6 months or a year is the color they'll be for the rest of their lives! My daughter had gorgeous blue eyes up until she was 14 months old and then they changed to Hazel. She is now 2 1/2 and they are now changing to a honey brown (same color as her fathers).

Bethany - posted on 03/25/2010

I have dark brown eyes and my husband's are Green except around his pupils is brown. I think that's hazel? All three of our boys have beautiful bright blue eyes! My 9 month old daughter is following the two toned daddy and has blue w/ light brown almost a gold color. I've never seen her color before. Both of our (my husband and I) dads have blue eyes. Mom's have brown. So this is a very interesting Question. I hope her eyes will stay this color. Blue-ish Gold. Unique!

Caroline - posted on 03/25/2010

that must be the colour he's eyes are going to be, they change at about 6 wks old x

Melissa - posted on 03/25/2010

i think around a yr old is safe to say they wont change but i have heard cases of eyes changin colour at 2 yrs old

Rachel - posted on 03/25/2010

Hi Sarah,

My first born had blue eyes at birth which remained until around 8months before they started turning a light brown, so about a year before they completely changed. My little girl however was born with deep blue eyes which havent changed at all, she is now two....am still waiting to see how my 6month olds progress, as they are a charcoal at mo. I think they say it can take up to two years in some cases. These are just my experiences and i guess every baby is dif, hope this helps tho. x

I have brown eyes and so does my boys father. I have two boys that are 3 and four and have bright blue eyes... I think I won the lottery!

Joyce - posted on 03/24/2010

his eyes will be blue, just because yours and his arent doesnt mean anything its in the genes too. my first daughter, my babys father and myself have dark brown eyes and hair but baby has blue eyes and lighter hair

Amanda - posted on 03/24/2010

I think that by around 9 months or a year old whatever their eye color is at that time is what it should stay - according to my pedeatrician. My daughters were born with blue eyes, and at 14 months old still have the same blue eyes.

Sandra - posted on 03/24/2010

My daughter was born with really dark blue eyes, and now at almost 6 months they are a baby blue colour. My eyes are blue and my husbands are blue/grey.

I was born with blue, then they chanced to green around 2-3 yrs old. and then when I hit puberty they went back to blue. Now they still change...if I am crying they are an aqua colour, if it is cold they have more blue, and if it is really hot they are kind of blue/green. I guess some peoples eyes never change. I also know with me, certain clothes will change the colour, If I wear yellows or whites my eyes look more blue/green but if I wear black or pink or blue, my eyes look really blue.

My son had baby blue eyes untill he was over a year old now they are green . I think it just depends on the child .... My god daughter was born with blue eyes she is now 1and 1/2 and I cant see her eyes changing they are so sky Blue and have not changed a bit!!

Stephanie - posted on 03/24/2010

My daughter is two and hers JUST turned hazel, it seems like the hazel ones take longer to actual stay a color. I have brown eyes and mine changed early and stayed. My husband's are hazel and almost green. Kiersten's eyes were dark blue then they were greyish for about a year, then they started to look more hazel here recently.

Christina - posted on 03/24/2010

I think by the time they are a year old they don't change anymore, but can change multiple times up until then. I have 6 and 5 of them are baby blues (i have blue eyes) and 1 has hazel eyes (like my husband).

Lisa - posted on 03/24/2010

My daughter was born with bright blue eyes and is now 8 months and they have not changed. I have brown eyes and my husband has the blue eyes. It's amazing that she wound up with the blue.

Megan - posted on 03/24/2010

if they are gonna change at all, it will be by 6 weeks after that there is pretty much no hope of changing :)

Tiffany - posted on 03/24/2010

i big brown eyes and my husband has big blue my sons only 5 months and still has blue but it could change hopefully not cause i love blues eyes some much that i wear colored contacts!!!

Tammy - posted on 03/24/2010

I thought my son's eyes would turn brown because his father has dark brown eyes. But he still has my big blues at 2 and a half years. So maybe your baby's eyes won't change.

Alison - posted on 03/24/2010

According to my pediatrician, if the baby's eye color hasn't changed by the time they turn three months old, then chances are they won't change to a different color. Although it is rare, but in some cases they can change after that as well.

Tabatha - posted on 03/24/2010

well when i was younger my eyes were blue until i was 3 and when i turned 3 they turned green so far my daughter is 4 montsh old n theyre still blue

Julie - posted on 03/24/2010

According to studies, it can take up to a full year for eye color to fully develop - however, I've seen children whose eyes change even later on in life. For me, I had blue eyes for about 18 months according to my mother then they began to change and now they are a brownish hazel color. My daughter had bright blue eyes as a baby and they are still blue now, but not as bright. she is 2 1/2

Tera - posted on 03/24/2010

they normally stop changing between 6 months and 1 year. they can however change after that. i have 6 children, they all have brown eyes except for 1, and he has blue. my youngest turns 2 in one month and he eyes are still getting lighter even though they are still brown right now. hoping they change to blue.

Krystal - posted on 03/24/2010

my oldest son was born with greyish blue eyes, his father has blue eyes, mine are brown, my kids eyes changed color when he was around 1 yr old.

Brandy - posted on 03/24/2010

My oldest changed around 4 months, my middle never changed, they stayed a brilliant beautiful blue, which is weird cause we all have hazel eyes...and my little girl's are just now starting to change and she is going on 6 months...by a year I think they should be where they are going to be!!

Lisa - posted on 03/24/2010

My son was about 4 month when his eyes started to get lighter and lighter and now they are bright blue, he's almost 6 months now. We had a 50/50 chance too of having blue or brown eyed boys because mine are brown and my husband's are baby blue, but I get it just depends on the genes we carry from our parents. My mom has blue eyes and both his parents had blue eyes so i guess the blue was more dominant in our case, lol.

Wendy - posted on 03/24/2010

My baby girl has light grey eyes right now and my oldest had sky blue eyes as a baby until this past year when they are a weird shade of blue and she will be 3. I have heard 3 is when they eyes become there true color.

Jessica - posted on 03/24/2010

By the time he is 1 they should have changed. Just to let you know, i have brown eyes and my husband has green and my 6 year old has blue. They never changed, That happens all the time:0)

Kirsty - posted on 03/24/2010

Cassie - posted on 03/24/2010

my son actually kept his eye color since birth and he is now 14 months old. He has hazel eyes. a blue, green,brown and a little purple. His eyes are awesome.

Natalie - posted on 03/24/2010

my baby had dark blue eyes and afta about 6 months they had changed 2 hazel - n then afta another 6 months they hav gone dark dark brown - almost black, like mine!! x

Heather - posted on 03/23/2010

I dont remember exact dates but caucasion babies are always born with dark blue eyes that start to change the first few weeks. They will continue changing subtly until around a year.

Francesca - posted on 03/23/2010

Most babies are born with blue, but that can change. Blue is recessive and is a lack of any pigment. If they are born with brown, thats what they will be. Eye colour can take up to 9-12 months to set, but at 6 months, its usually a good indication of what they will be.

My daughter was born with big black eyes. It was kind of like children of the corn or something. But then they went greyish a few months later. Now they are hazel. Sometimes more blue-green and sometimes more dark brown. Odd though, since I have very blue eyes and my Dh has very light brown, almost yellow eyes. I thought for sure she would have been born with blue eyes.

i think it depends on the families genes and each childs timing can be different. my bubs eyes are still blue but she is only 13 weeks.. beautiful colour though:)

Megha - posted on 03/23/2010

my daughter has dark black eyes,and still has the same...i think the eye color changes only in case of light colored eyes,with black they remain the same throughout.

Katt - posted on 03/23/2010

My daughter was born with what looked like black eyes..at about 6 weeks they went a really nice dark blue now that she's 14 months, she has light blue eyes, they're very bright though. She has her daddy's eyes for sure!! Mine are green/blue!!

Joy - posted on 03/23/2010

I had a doctor tell me that all babies eyes will stop changing color by 1 year. I know this isn't true -- my brothers eyes (as well as my own) were blue until we were about 4, when they turned green. And my daughter and his have both done the same thing -- blue eyes turned green right around 4. So I guess they can change until they don't.

Brandi - posted on 03/23/2010

my son was born with dark blue eyes and they have gotten lighter. my eyes are hazel and my fiances and light brown. im crossing my fingers that they stay blue. but just about every1 in his family has blue or green or hazel eyes so that betters my sons chances of keeping his blue eyes.

Kat - posted on 03/23/2010

I have really bright blue eyes and my husband has pretty green eyes. My son is almost five months and they were changing between the two now they have been staying at my eye color.. everyone says they've never seen a baby boy look more like his mom then my aidyn does ^_^
