The irises (the colored part of the eye) need light to darken (change) in color. Usually by 9 months your baby's eyes will have changed color. But as stated by others, this is not always the case.
Then if you have hazel eyes, like myself and my daughter, out eye color changes with our moods. Our eyes are usually light brown, but when we get sad and cry our eyes turn a green-blue.

Take care.

I have heard that they settle into their final colour by about 3 - 6 months, my baby is 12 weeks and his eyes are still changing, but it takes time.

In theory they say that all babies are born with blue eyes and change colour at 6 weeks.

Eye colour can change a lot so it is really difficult to tell. Lots of babies have a blue sheen at birth that gradually changes. One of my children had blue/grey eyes until she was 4 and now they are hazel.

It can take from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, depending how strong the underlying eye colour is.
