My son was born with dark blue eyes, they've slowly lightened up to a nice bright blue, but one of his eyes has brown streaks in it, it's been this way for a couple of months now (he's 5 months old now). I always just assumed that the other eye would get some brown in it soon, but it's been a while. Is it possible that only one eye will have brown in it? Anyone else have this happen with their babies?

wow, I think that is really cool. one brown eye, one blue eye, just like David bowie. To be perfectly honest with you at five months it is very difficult to say if the eye colour has stabilised. My two-year-old had blue eyes all the way up to 18 months, he now has green eyes and they are still changing, I have a feeling they will be brown in a couple of months. You eye colour keeps changing through your whole life. I still think one brown eye and one blue I would be really cool. :) just my humble opinion of course.

Anything is possible! I was looking into it too when I was pregnant, just to see. I have one blue and one multicolored eye, and my husbands eye color seems to change between brown and green. From what I read, with green in the picture, anything is possible. Brown is dominate, and blue is recessive. If you know the eye color of both parents parents you can chart what the odds are of each color. You really won't know for sure until the baby is a year or even older. They will likely come out a slate blue color, and change throughout the first year. My boy has blue now. He is 3 months, and started with the dark slate blue color. We did just learn that my husbands eyes were blue until he was about a year. Then, they seemed to change over night to the beautiful green brown color they are now.

Hi Congrats on your baby!. It usually takes a little longer for the eye color to finally change to whatever permanent color that they are going to stay. They usually say 6 months to a year .So your baby's eye color still may change some more. It is possible for one eye to have some brown in it and the other to stay completely blue. It probably won't be as noticeable with age if it does stay this way. But I wouldn't worry about it too much as long as you have a healthy baby boy . He is perfect just the way he is.!!

It is possible, but unlikely that he will have two different colored eyes. My son #5 changed from dark blue to brown to grey, one eye at a time until he was 9 months.

My stepdads ex had multiple colors in her eyes, including brown green and red. They were very cool. My brother has multipule colors in his eyes also including gray. Eyes are very misterious. Most of the time, they decide on one color, and stick with it, but like eyes that are haxel, and some others change colors threw out life. I would just wait longer. There is no real way to tell, mabey you will get a blue eye and a brown eyed baby? only time will tell. thats cool though.

My son was born with eyes so blue they looked like blueberries, he is 5 months old and they are the color of bluejeans. As for your son's eye color he could have two different eye colors its rare but thats how my eyes are. My left eye is bright blue and my right eye is dark green naturally. Its called heterochromia

He probably out grow it. It can take 12-18 months for eye color to really get set.
Although it is possible that one eye will be different from the other. Its not common but it does happen. It does mean anything for his health, just the way his genes colored his eyes :)

Yes it is possible that only one eye can have brown in it. But really his eyes will go through some more subtle changes as he gets a little older.

when my second son was a few months old one of his eyes started to turn brown and the other one stayed blue for quite awhile. eventually his other eye turned brown also. he now has big beautiful chocolate brown eyes and eyelashes that any woman would kill for.

Its totally normal to have a different coloring in the eyes. Not everyone eyes are the same and some have more coloring and others have 2 completely different colored eyes. i wouldn't worry about it too much. As long as your baby is healthy then he is ok to have different colored eyes.
