Do your baby's eyelids have very obvious veins visible?

[Flllightattendant]

Please have a look and reassure me! My son's are very red, like those photos of foetuses in the womb - all veiny and translucent.

He is very fair though, is this normal?

Most of them do, it's because the skin's thin.

My dd - 8 weeks does - especially after she's had a tearful day.

Thankyou, that's alright then.

Sometimes he does look so little and soft.

my DD is 11 and still has obvious bluey veins on her eyelids - has been told off in school for wearing eyeshadow. will save your DS a fortune in makeup
he is very cute.

My DS (5) has obvious bluey veins on his eyelids. He is extremely happy about his resemblance to spiderman. I had been a bit worried so thanks NN.
