  I was just thinking about this the other day.  I heard that it is supposed to go away, but I still have mine too.

  During pregnancy mine went up my entire belly.  It disappeared immediately after delivery.

  Does breastfeeding have anything to do with it?

  I still have mine and was wondering the same thing.  It has faded a little bit though.

  I don't think so.  I didn't breastfeed, but mine just now has started to fade.

  Mine was SUPER dark, and I just noticed that it has faded quite a bit.  (I formula feed)

    Really? I highly doubt this. It's an excess of melanin in your skin, same thing as a sun tan. Like a sun tan, it takes time to fade. Further compounded by the fact that your skin is shrinking, the concentration of melanin (per square inch of skin) actually INCREASES after childbirth, the line gets darker and the rest of the skin on your belly should appear a little darker. Some women end up with a permanent faint line. Others may have it darken again with UV exposure.

  FTR, mine's completely gone from belly-button up and very faint from button down at 3 months pp.
