Baby is 5 weeks, eyes bright blue, will they stay that way now?

I remember DS2s eyes being blue but not for this long, they went dark brown, both DH and I have brown eyes and both the kids.

They aren't changing at all apart from going from grey blue earlier to bright blue.

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

My daughter had blue/slate grey eyes until she was 11 months old. Then suddenly they turned brown.
I always thought they would stay the same colour from 6 months.

my DDs eyes didn't change until 20 months, they went from blue to dark brown!

My eyes changed colour when I was around 8yrs old!
From bright blue to bright green, DD's changed the same way when she was around 5yrs.
So no definitive answer I think!
Actually my eyes still change colour sometimes

Ds had blue eyes up until he was 9. It is only now, in teh last few months they have gone a duskey grey with a green tint. (we all have green eyes so I expect them to end up there)
Dd had blue eyes for the first 2 years of her life, they are now very decidedly green.

So plenty of time for them to change...

DD 11 started out really blue but over the years they have changed to a grey with hazel flecks

it will depend on who in the family has blue eyes i believe. for example, a friend of mine has blue eyes, as does her partner as do all 4 grandparents. they could guarentee therefore that their daughter will always have blue eyes. it doesnt just depend on whether you and your husband/partner have blue eyes. my DD had blue eyes for about 3 months. her father has blue eyes and mine are hazel. my parents have green and hazel eyes. and guess what ..... my DD eyes have turned hazel now she is 2!
