why do almost all the babies have blue eyes??and at what age they change them?

Answer 1

The colored part of your eyes is called the iris. The iris of a newborn Caucasian infant is almost always blue. This is because the cells in this area of the eye at this time contain little or no pigment. After the first few months of life, pigment starts to develop and the color can become darker. When an infant is six months old, you can usually tell whether their eyes will remain blue, or turn brown, hazel or green.

Answer 2

Babies have blue eyes because the pigment in their eyes is still developing. The color changes by 6 months for most babies. But it can occasionally take longer than that. I have a picture from when I was 18 months old, and I still had blue eyes, but my eyes were green by the time I was 2 years old. My daughter is now 15 months and still has her pretty blue eyes, I am hoping they do not change late like mine did because I love her blue eyes :)

Answer 3

When a baby is first born, the eye still has not fully developed a dark pigment known as melanin that helps “color” eyes and skin. Blue or gray eyes in a newborn mean that melanin is virtually absent within the eye’s colored portion (iris).


When your baby is about six months old, you’ll have a better idea of eye color as pigmentation begins to form and brown or darker eyes might appear. The baby’s eye color should be determined by about age one, although some individuals may experience eye color changes through adulthood.

Answer 4

Don't know why babies are born with blue eyes and as for when do they change, I had blue eyes until I was 12 months old and my only brown eyed child had blue eyes until he was 10 months old. We are outside the norm though I think, all the other brown eyed babies in my extended family had changed within 2-3months.

Answer 5

By 1 month old usally they have the eye color that will stick. My son had brown for the first few weeks but are now blue.

Answer 6

At the end of her second month my daughter's eye were fully brown
