Dennie-Morgan folds

[alaskagrown]

Does anyone have a baby with Dennie-Morgan folds underneath their eyes? Lilly has pretty prominent ones and I was wondering if they're simply just the way her eyes are or if it is allergy related. She often has an itchy face and has a dry flaky eczema rash on her back that I have to keep under control by applying Aquaphor daily. I've only seen one other baby in my town with these kinds of prominent lines.

My son has them and I did too when I was little and I don't have allergies. As for my son I'm not sure about allergies yet, he is only a month old

DD has them. I had them when I was little and my entire life I have had "bags" under my eyes, as does my dad, so I figured it was genetic?

OT, but I love the pic of her with the spoon!

My son has these I didn't even know they had a name.

His Dad and his Granddad both have them.

Oddly enough my LO also has eczema and allergies. I don't think they are related though. Just a facial feature.

Thanks! I am sort of leaning towards the fact they are just facial features. I was curious about them and was looking up why some people have them and some don't and all that came up was talk about allergies and eczema.
