My baby boy is 3 weeks old and he has a salmon patch/stork bite on his forehead and across his eyelid. At first, I thought it was a bruise from the way he was delivered. But I was told by the doctor that it's a salmon patch birth mark, sometimes known as angel kisses or stork bites. It is a bit redder and bigger than ones I have seen on Google images though!
Does anyone else have experience of these birthmarks? I am told it will fade before he starts school. I'm not worried about it as, if it's just a salmon patch, as I know it's not dangerous. I am just curious to know other people's experiences!
