Do all babies eye colour change? Or are some babies born with green eyes? Just curious. Thanks

Mine were very dark when I was born and changed at some point - not sure when. I noticed they were green when I was mid teens and mum confirmed that they had been very dark brown.

My baby was born with blue eyes, after a few months they changed to green, and then a lovely golden brown ( I have boring dark brown eyes!)

All my DC were born with grey eyes which changed to brown after a while.

My kids had such such dark blue eyes when they were born, like a navy blue almost verging on black. Now they have a medium to light blue eye.

I have blue eyes which verge on green and my husband has bright blue eyes

Based on my nurses training 40 years ago, most born grey although some dark browns from birth

Based on your nurses training most Caucasian babies may have grey eyes but not most babies in general.

My lo was born with brown almost black eyes, none of the midwives had seen that colour before, so had a lot of visitors just to see lo eyes. Have now gone to a light green.
