When do stork bites go away?

BelleBaby · May 2010

I was just looking at pictures of Eli (I so need to turn that photo frame off) and noticed that he still has his stork bites (or angel kisses, whichever you call them) between his eyes. They're definitely lighter than when he was born, but still there. I guess I don't pay much attention in person or I'm just so used to seeing them that I don't notice.

Does your LO still have them? Do you know if they go away at some point or are those like a birthmark that he'll have his entire life? No one ever really explained them to me and I'm curious.

My sister is 14 years old and you can still faintly see hers. She has one on her forehead and one on the back on her neck.

I can barely see J's now. But if he gets hot or really sleepy it's more noticeable.

my DS has one. I hear they go away by age 2. I had one too so I am not worried.

ETA - Ask your pedi about it - mine brought it up at like the first 5 of DS's appointments apparently forgetting that we had already discussed it.

Ethan's are still pretty easy to see but that's because he's practically bald (there on the nape of his neck/lower part of hairline). As far as I've heard they never really go away just get fainter

Both boys still have them between the eyes but they are much lighter now.

Jake still has his between his eyes. It's much lighter, except when he's crying, mad or hot.

DD's is barely noticeable now. I have to actually look for it to see it. Our pedi said it would be gone by age 2 usually. I kinda wish it wasn't fading, though. Hers is on the nape of her neck so it's not in a noticable place, but it reminds me of when she was born

I like it.

Both of my girls still have the ones on the back of their neck (and DD#1 is 11.5).
