Angel kisses & stork marks

[April76]

This is my 6 month old son. When he was born i noticed a V mark on his forehead and little spots on the back of his neck. I now know they are birthmarks called angel kisses and stork marks. I love my son so much and they don't bother me, i hardly see them anymore, but im so fed up of people asking what they are and when will they go away. I even had one woman say to me that it was such a shame he had that mark on his face, i had to walk away from her as i would have slapped her silly if i wasn't in the supermarket! I love my son so much but im so scared people will make fun of him. Has anybody on he got a baby with these birthmarks?

no, but he is georgous! people can be so vain sometimes

My LO has a small one under her nose. I was a littler bothered when realised it wasn't going to go away, until I googled baby birthmarks and slapped myself for being so stupid and vain when u see some of the real birthmarks babies can have which cause a true disfigurement. Felt like a v bad person for even worrying about it.

First off, he is GORGEOUS! Secondly, people can be so rude and it pisses me off! Both of my sons have stork bites on the backs of their necks and I think they are adorable! They aren't noticeable at all, but even if they had noticeable birth marks, I would still find my sons perfect. I hope people learn to keep their opinions to themselves, but if they still ask, just keep it short and explain they are birth marks, end of story. xx

My daughter had one as a baby, but it faded by the time she was a year old. Every now and again if she's hot or has been crying, it will kind of show up just a bit. My son also has one, but I'm sure it will fade, too. Your little man is just gorgeous!

Ive never heard of them, but your baby is gorgeous, so cute!
My LO has a strawberry birthmark on the back of her neck. I thought it was a rash at first but the midwife said it was a strawberry birthmark and her hair would grow to cover it. People sometimes ask me what it is as it looks like a rash. x

He is so cute, you can barely even see it! Don't listen to anybody that makes rude remarks

 

[Mamoosca]

I had a really obvious one in the same place when I was born. It had gone by time I was 3. People are so ignorant. He's a gorgeous boy. xx

Jamie had them when he was a bubba and Leo has it too.

You LO is gorgeous

MIL made a stupid comment about jamies one on his face when Jamie was little saying 'oh has mummy been hitting you'!!!! WTF! She said it in a stupid baby voice. X

Here is Leo's

My little sister had them on her face, but they faded and disappeared completely by the time she was about 18 months. I bet your little guy's will do the same.

Also, there should definitely be a law that allows us to slap thoughtless, rude people.

My lo's don't have them but I did, just behind my ear (as well as a strange bit of excess skin). Drs told my mum it would fade within a year, but it didn't. Its gone now, but it didn't start fading till I was a teenager. Am fairly grateful that it wasn't one of those disfiguring birthmarks though. Your lo is gorgeous and people can be twats!

Both my girls have them on their eyelids. I had one visitor who told me it was good that they were girls as eventually they can cover them with eyeshadow!! I love them on my girls and think they add to their gorgeousness

My eldest has a large strawberry mark in her cheek. I hate it when people stare without asking. The worst question is "what are they gonna do about it" as I it is inconceivable that we might not want to do anything about it. The worst remark is when people say its a shame, which it isn't, it's part of who she is. Have tried to attach a photo of her at about 11 months. She's now 2 and a half and it is fading slowly.

 

[April76]

Thank you so much ladies Some people can be so nasty, all babies are beautiful! I really didnt know what they were and when he was born nobody mentioned then to me, it was the health visitor that told me. I love my wee guy so much and his little marks kind of make him, well... him!!

 

[jenniferttc1]

I've seen that mark before on a girls baby and wondered if it was a birthmark, now I know! It's not even that noticeable really.
My son a a smallist but dark red spot on his temple and I constantly get asked what he hit his head on, and even the same people ask over and over again. Its a FUCKING birth mark you twat!

The woman that said that it was a shame because my boy had his mark between his eyes was so ignorant and nasty. Your little girl is beautiful, her eyes are just gorgeous!

Birthmarks are where the love went into you from your mummy. The more she loves you, the bigger the birthmark!

I have a stork mark on the back of my neck and so does my beautiful baby. I'm proud of them.

 

[shterr612]

My baby has almost an identical angel kiss, as well as a stork bite in the back. I have them too. Mine has mostly faded, but you can see it when I get flushed. I am thrilled that my daughter has the same birthmarks as me. Your baby is beautiful and I definitely would have given that person a piece of my mind!

 

[AP]

Our first had them on her forehead and back of her head. They really did fade with age though! I thought they were pretty nice to be known as stork marks.

Both my babies had ones very similar to your LO when they were born. My son's was a bit smaller and my daughter's is a bit bigger. Notice I said "my son's WAS." Yup, his is completely gone at 10 months but hers is as dark as ever. I constantly have people walking up to me and asking, "What's wrong with her face?" I just want to reply, "Nothing. What's wrong with yours?" Your LO is absolutely adorable. I know it's hard, but when you hear those ignorant comments try to consider the source.
