when babies are born aparently they all have blue eyes is this true?

Question

I have never seen a black person with blue eyes and wonder if their newborn babies have blue eyes, is the question true?

Answer 1

Not all babies, but a lot are born with blue eyes because melanin which is a brownish pigment that adds colour to your hair, eyes, and skin doesn't full "deposit" in the eyes' iris when a baby is first born. Hence, they appear blue. After about six months, eyes change colour depending on the amount of melanin. If you have a lot of it, your eyes will turn brown or black. If you have little, they'll stay blue.
This is most common in caucasian babies.

Answer 2

Not all babies are born with blue eyes. But some babies who are born with blue eyes have a change eye colour when they're a bit older. This happened to both my sisters. The youngest was born with blue eyes and they went brown when she was about 4!

Answer 3

Babies of African and Asian descent are usually born with brown eyes that stay brown. Caucasian babies are often born with steel gray or dark blue eyes; they may stay gray or blue or turn green, hazel, or brown by the time they're 9 months old. That's because a child's irises (the colored part of the eye) may gain more pigment in the months after she's born, but they won't get "lighter" or more blue. (Green, hazel, and brown eyes actually have more pigment than grey or blue eyes, even if they appear lighter in color.) The website below is a great resource.

Answer 4

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 (which many Caucasian babies have at birth) in a newborn mean that melanin is virtually absent within the eye’s colored portion (iris).

People of Asian, African-American, Hispanic, or native American descent often have babies who are brown-eyed at birth because of darker pigmentation (melanin).

Answer 5

I have seen black babies with blue and green eyes. but, I think with my kids and I am white they both were born with blue eyes and my eyes are brown my husbands are blue and both of my kids now 9 and 2 have brown eyes. I think it has something to do with gens.

Answer 6

Alot of babies are born with blue eyes but not all of them. My first daughter had dark brown eyes right after birth. My other children, I have two had slightly gray blue eyes. Although later turned to varying shades of brown. I and my husband are white, I have blue eyes and my husband has brown. I wanted a blue eyed baby and never got one. It is all in genetics. My husbands parents both had brown and my parents both had blue. Brown is dominant. I guess I should be happy they were all healthy, but I wanted a blue eyed, blond haired baby. Don't worry I have gotten over it.

Answer 7

Caucasian babies usually have blue eyes at birth, but darker-skinned babies usually have grayish-brown or brown eyes from the moment they're born.

Answer 8

Nope, not true at all. Our daughter was born with dark brown eyes, still has them. Son was born with blue eyes which are gradually turning green. Wife born with blue eyes which turned green when she was around three years old.

Answer 9

My daughter was born with brown eyes and they stayed brown and we are white so no..not all babies are born with blue eyes.

Answer 10

It is common as the baby's eyes have a slight cast over the front that dissolves as it gets older, usually within the first few months when the true colour shows itself
