Stork bite?

lp0lp0 member
in December 2013 Moms
So I realized today that the mark on DD's forehead and eye lids are likely stork bites. I thought the marks were from delivery since they are not dark but then noticed a much darker mark the back other neck. I plan to ask the dr on Thursday at her two week check up but does anyone have experience with them? Everything I read on Dr. google said they will fade with time.

    I have them, and both kids do also. Mine faded...you actually can't see them unless my face gets red. DD's have faded as well (she's 18 months), and DS' are less noticeable already at nearly a month old.

    Both myself and Mr.MM had one in the middle between our eyebrows and now so does Archer lol. Ours both faded and only show up when we're red in the face from something like crying or getting angry.

    Both my twins had them on their foreheads and on the back of their necks and they faded.  I don't remember how long it took.

    Ariella had a big one on her forehead that faded already and another on her eyelid which is starting to fade.

    Ds2 had one on his forehead by his eyebrow and it took a good 6-9 months to fade completely.

    DS 1 had one on back of neck and ds2 has one on eyelid. With DS1 it completely faded within a year and only gets a little red when he has a temper tantrum, so I'm assuming the same will happen this time with DS2. The doctor said only a small percentage don't fade, and those can be laser removed if you really want them to be.

    I asked the dr today and he said they will fade and not to worry about them. DD's are pretty light to start with so hopefully they disappear quick.

    Thanks for the responses everyone :)
