Eye Color Newborn

You won't know until she is about 2 years old. They will probably get darker because blue is the recessive gene, and brown is the dominant gene.

My hubs are blue, mine are green. We have two daughters and one is green, and the other is blue.

Babies eyes can stay blue until almost one year old and then change. You just can't know at this point.

Give it some time. My children's eyes took at least 18 months to change. I have heard of taking up to 2 years. I don't think there really is a way to tell if they will stay or change except time.

just have to wait and see.

Given your questions - have you checked out any of the books on babies? What to Expect the First Year is good. We also liked the Babywise series.

There's a ton out there - good luck.

Still too early to tell. My brother was born with baby blues and his eyes turned dark brown. My brown eyed kids were all born with dark brown eyes. I have dark brown eyes, husband has dark brown eyes, siblings have dark brown eyes, 3 kids have dark brown eyes. My 2nd was born with deep dark blue eyes. Pediatrician and all the nurses and doctors were positive they would turn brown, but at 5 they are still the same blue color.

Two months is too young to determine the eye color. Usually after 6 months or up to two years old the eye color can change. It all has to do with genetics.

My hubby and I have brown eyes and our daughter has blue. It seems all the girls not the boys on my side (brother and sisters daughters) got the blue eye gene.

Maybe! My entire family has brown eyes (there are a LOT of us). The only 2 that don't are one of my grandma's (dad's mom) & 1 cousin, both have blue eyes. My hubby has hazel, our oldest has blue & our youngest has green!

My daughter's started out hazel and now are light brown like mine.

My sons' started out blue like my husbands and are now hazel. (although if he wears blue the blue shines and they appear blue)

Sometime between 6 months and year they changed and stayed that way.

I have hazel towards golden-brown. My husband has blue. At two *years* old, I thought my daughter's very blue eyes would stay blue. They didn't! AFTER age two *years*, her eyes turned a greenish-greyish color-hazelish color. My grandmother said my eyes also changed color AFTER two years of age! So you really could not know at age 2 months.

I have brown, my husband has blue. My family had brown, his has blue/green. My daughter has blue eyes.

It's a genetic grab bag, you really never know for sure.

One of my girls had blue eyes until a few weeks before her 2nd birthday. With her pail skin and dark hair they would have really stood out. Her eyes are now a deep golden brown and sometimes darken. My 6 month old had mostly gray eyes until last month when more brown showed through. We are waiting to see if he keeps the grayish tint or it goes away all together.
BTW, eyes can change at any time. I had a classmate that had bluish green eyes until 6th grade. Over summer break they changed. When we went back to school , everyone swore she was wearing gray colored contacts. Her eyes were like a deep metal gray.
My husband is Mexican with dark brown eyes and I have blue but mine can change to anywhere from blue to green to a bit gray or a mix. My other kids have different shades of brown or brownish red.

J. - usually by 2 years - the eye color will stay....sometimes though at 2 months - they stay the same.

if they stay blue - it's called latent blue gene...my son has BRIGHT blue eyes and my husband and I both have dark brown eyes...my mother has blue eyes and my husband's mother had blue eyes.

I hoped that my daughter would keep her beautiful ice blue eyes, but at 9 months they began to change. I have hazel and dad has brown eyes. When she was born with black hair, fair skin and ice blue eyes, I had my fingers crossed. By two years old her eyes were brown, beautiful brown. There is a chance she will keep them, but don't count on it. :)

I have a blue and a brown eye (genetically every third generation), my husbands are brown. My dad's entire family has blue eyes, mom has hazel and the rest of her family is brown. My kids were born with dark blue eyes, changed to hazel right away and ended up dark brown.

It is a little more complicated than this but to put it simply: You provide two recessive genes (bb) because you have hazel eyes. The father provides one dominant gene and one recessive (Bb) because he got a recessive gene from his blue-eyed father. So the possible combinations for your child are: Bb, bb, bb, or Bb which means there is a 50% chance your child will have brown eyes. 50% chance your child will have light eyes. The pigment gene, so to speak, has to be turned on (usually by light) which is why babies are born with blue eyes (little pigment) that gradually change to a darker color (the pigment production is turned on).

I can say they won't be dark brown. All my kids have my dark brown eyes and they were never blue. They were kind of an odd color when they were born but it wasn't blue.

Eyes are incomplete dominance so if your husband does hold a blue recessive. Like my dark brown I have brown brown there is no recessive. Blue eyes are blue blue so your husband must have a blue recessive if his father has blue eyes. So pretty much your daughter has a one in four chance her eyes will stay blue.

My eyes are brown, my hubby's blue, and all three of my kids were born with blue eyes and they've all stayed blue! I was sure i would get one brown eyed child, but no luck lol! :)

My oldest had silvery blue until almost a year then they went brown. I have blue and his dad had hazel........both my parents have brown eyes.

Really hard to say. My eyes were blue until I was one year old, then they turned green. My husband has brown eyes, our daughter's eyes are hazel, but mostly green. It's fun wondering!

I have found those that are "crystal" blue stay blue and those that are a darker/richer/murkeir blue change colors. My nephew had murky blue and they went green, my other nephew had the grey blue and they went DARK brown (half mexican took daddy's color), my son and neice crystal blue - kept them! All the kids on fiance's side aside from one are blue eyes - as babies crystal blue, the one that ended up brown darker blue. That is just a pattern I have noticed in my family's eyes.

All you can do it wait and see.
Eye color tends to stabilize at 1 year to 18 months, and then remains the same pretty much for the rest of their lives.
My eyes are hazel, my husbands are brown.
Our son was born with deep blue eyes but they became brown before his first birthday.
They are just a shade lighter brown than his fathers eyes but they are beautiful.
Brown tends to be fairly dominant.

if your family (mom or dad) have blue eyes you have a good chance. I believe this only comes from the Mother's side. My Brother & SIL both have brown eyes and 2 of the 3 kids have blue because her mom has blue eyes.

They can change up until the first birthday, only time will tell:)

If she was born with brown eyes, chances are they would stay brown. My first born had the darkest eyes and they stayed brown. My 3 others were born with bluish eyes but they turned hazel (brown/green), green, and hazel (green/blue). Eye color, from what I've heard, can change up to age 2.
