I love my little carrot top. It looks so cute, thick copper hair.

The pic where he is asleep in his car seat, with the grey cardi on, he was around 5 weeks old.

The last two were taken today at 18 weeks old. It's got very whispy at the top and sides. He has a bald patch at the back like most babies.

Has anyone had a ginger baby and they've changed colour?

Dont want the gingeness to go Sad

I could eat him up, he's gorgeous!

Hey- what is your little ones hair like now? I have a four month old red head, not sure if it will stay or not x

My DD was ginger (although perhaps not quite as ginger as your lovely little boy) and she went blonde by the time she was 18m/2.

I think if there are ginger genes in the family it will probably stay- if not, then possibly not.

brookshelley · 12/09/2018 09:55

My best friend growing up was ginger as a child and then turned dark blonde around 11/12.

Georgias87 · 12/09/2018 09:57

My hair is light brown and my husband is olive skinned with dark brown hair, my nan was auburn but no ginger on my husbands size that we know of 🤔

Gorgeous little baby

OP, family in America have two grand daughters, one dark haired one a dark copper shade . since she had it cut .
The little one with dark copper, when she was born, it was a lighter copper shade . The Dad has ginger hair but its lightened to look more blonde in his adult life oddly.

MaggieSimpsonsPacifier · 12/09/2018 10:09

I’ve known both, OP - some stayed red, some didn’t. It’s like their eyes, only time will tell.

He’s beautiful whether he’s ginger, brunette, blond or bald!

Georgias87 · 12/09/2018 10:19

We will wait and see! My other son is olive and dark hair....genes are amazing!

My grandma had auburn hair, my cousins have auburn hair It was a relief when both my children came out with dark hair and olive skin. Nothing against red hair though

WorraLiberty · 12/09/2018 10:32

I think given the 'orange' shade, it's likely to stay.

WhirlyGigWhirlyGig · 12/09/2018 10:32

My dd was born ginger and has stayed ginger, she hates it despite everyone being envious of her hair. DS was born blonde that then went ginger and it's still ginger many years later.
I too reckon your little one will remain ginger for life.

FreddyFasbear · 12/09/2018 10:35

Amazing how their hair changes when they’re young! Your baby has beautiful colouring OP! Don’t see that changing! Dd had thick jet black hair from birth until she was 1. It’s now this mix of blonde, brown and the occasional white streak. Big change from the raven black!

Excuse the mess in my photo, we were packing to go camping Blush

Georgias87 Your DC's are gorgeous!

Georgias87 · 12/09/2018 10:40

Sounds like you are against red heads tbh!

Georgias87 · 12/09/2018 10:41

What amazing long hair 😍

Who?

FreddyFasbear · 12/09/2018 10:46

@Georgias87 took that after the bunchems incident 😂 long hair is great until something gets stuck in it

Georgias87 · 12/09/2018 10:49

The poster that said 'glad mine weren't born with it' very rude!

BertrandRussell · 12/09/2018 10:54

I remember someone admiring my dd’s red hair but adding “You wouldn’t want it yourself, of course...”

I am also red headed!

AriadnePersephoneCloud · 12/09/2018 10:55

I think it will stay... I have one blond blue eyed child out of a whole bunch of brown eyed brown haired children. Not sure where he came from but depute me thinking the blind would go, he's 7 now and still blonde!

Georgias87 · 12/09/2018 10:58

People are just so rude sometimes! It would break my heart to see his little face crying because someone bullying him about his hair!

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 12/09/2018 11:00

I missed that comment Georgia. How rude!

WhirlyGigWhirlyGig · 12/09/2018 11:01

Sadly kids do still bully other kids who have ginger hair.
