Lines/folds under baby's eye? Picture attached

Hello!
Finding mumsnet super helpful, especially when google doesn't have any answers.
I'm just wondering, does anyone know what these lines/folds are under my baby's eyes?
She is 6 months old. I don't know if I've seen them before, my nephew didn't have them.
Does anyone know what they are or why they are there and will they go?
Thank you Smile

Oh she's super gorgeous! I'm sure it will all iron out as she grows and I'm sure I've seen similar on little ones.
My babies are all grown up now and I know I fretted about all kinds of things when they were tiny. They turned out fine.

This is the same photo as a different post where you've asked about eye colour change...?

@lifeofsty yes, sorry it's just that it shows the lines clearly, here is another photo.

My daughter just used to get them when she was very tired. Still does now - she's 2. Will try to find a pic

My son had them as a baby and still has them now at 3.

Not sure they really mean/indicate anything.. he's perfectly healthy and thriving. And so what if they don't disappear fully? they just become part of your child's uniqueness.

2 pics attached..

Hi OP - I know this is an old post but was wondering how your LO is now? Mine has the same and I was wondering if they’re normal. Thanks!

This is them now. Still there but less obvious now she’s two and a half. She’s absolutely fine.

It’s just tight skin over the nose bridge eye corner. Dd2 had this as a baby/toddler . I don’t remember when it went away but she doesn’t have it at 12
