Angel kisses & stork marks

[babyerin]

My daughter was born with a bright red v mark going from the top of her head to between her eyes. When she pops or gets angry it goes purple

It is fading slightly, she is 2a now. I have had stupid comments that hurt me too. I can't control what other people choose to say, however by the time I've shot them 'the look' they usually shut up pretty quickly

My LO has the red patches on the back of his head and he still has red eyelids. My doctor said they vanish after a year approx. I don't notice them anymore either, your LO is beautiful x

my daughter has a dark stork mark on the nape of her neck, a lighter one on the back of her head where her little bald patch was and an angel kiss mark in the same place as your son. it doesnt show up in photos much but is quite noticeable when you look at her. i barely notice it anymore though. i've also had people asking what it is and when it will go away. OH's sister commented on it saying she doesnt think it will fade and its a shame its on her face cause she might get picked on when she's older! i just brushed it off even though it p****d me of big time. i think my daughter is beautiful regardless and it adds to her character. your son is also gorgeous btw. just try and ignore the comments. some people can be very ignorant. x

My LO has them on the back of his neck, his forehead and left eyelid. He's 6MO now I think they've faded a little. But when he's straining to do a poo the one on his forehead lights up like a beacon shortly before the rest of his face goes purple... It isn't subtle but I now think of it as quite cute and hopefully the mark will gradually face over time.

Your LO is completely and utterly GORGEOUS! My girl has a birth mark on the back of her head but then so does every female in my family, some people can be so thoughtless! xx

My 2 year old had one on her forehead and the red spots at the back of her head, the one on her face is hardly noticeable but the ones in her head as still there. My 2nd little girl has the same marks as her big sister. I'm not worried as they will fade and the ones in her head will eventually be covered with her hair so its fine.
Your little boy is gorgeous ignore anyone who says otherwise x

Thank you so much for your comments, you have all made me feel a lot better . I didn't realize just how common these marks are. I would never come up to someone whose baby have a mark on their face and start commenting on it, all babies are perfect, precious and beautiful! The person who said that their baby has one and the mark gets redder when they do a poo had me in stitches, my boy is exactly the same, i have a little laugh at him, although i find it so cute when he does that, my hubby thinks im mad!

my neice had a v on her head and it went as she got older, i had a strawberry birthmark right on my left nipple when i was born and it went away as i hit puberty and my daughter has got a birthmark on the inside of her left leg and it only shows up more when she is hot

i would take no notice of people he is a little stunner and the v will go as he get older xxxx

Erin's got one underneath her eyebrow on one side - barely noticeable (I notice it obviously) to anyone who isn't staring at her for hours, and if it doesn't fade in time, when she's an adult it'll just look like she's taken an eyebrow piercing out or something.

She had one on the back of her neck too but that one seems to have faded completely or been covered by hair.

My husband's got one the shape of the map of the UK on his leg!

Mine has the V shaped birthmark and angel kisses on both eyelids mainly the left, AND the marks on the back of his neck!

I hardly see them any more. Helps that his cousin who is 5 has exactly the same and likes to be his twin lol
