Talk to me about cleft chins on babies

[mrsthomas623]

Nope they are permanent. And typically one parent MUST have one, does anyone in your family or dhs family have a cleft chin?

Nope, nobody!

How about the mailman?

(I hope that was as funny as I meant it to be! We always joke that our mailman is DS1 real dad because he looks NOTHING like DH. )

Well all I know for sure are cleft chins are downright adorable- but that could be because both of my boys have them, too!

I would never think of them as a defect...just like dimples but on their chin.

Your son is adorable....

LOL....Does the UPS man have one???

Haha I'm not sure, we've never come up for air long enough to actually have a look at his chin.

Moti, your daughter's dimple is sooooo cute. I freaking love dimples!

Rhys has one, the same as hubby it's cute and they only trait he has from hubby as he looks like my clone. Liam doesn't have one

I am not sure where hubby's comes from though

 

[Excited4First]

Hey girl!! He is Sooo cute!!

 

[jadek]

My little guy has one! At birth it was definitely more drastic than it is now. But I love his lil butt chin! His father has a tiny cleft chin, I don't but relatives on my side do.

haha Joel has one but big chins run on my OHs side of the family - all the males have sticky out, dimpled chins. It used to be really obvious but he's grown into it so much now. I think they're so cute

this was LOs (when he was a lot younger)

Hey girl!! He is Sooo cute!!

Thank you hon! We were in your area last weekend, had a BLAST. Took Blake swimming for the first time and had a photo session on the beach!

 

[mommy0629]

DH and I both have one and so do both of our kids

 

[Excited4First]

Ahh!! Awesome! Where did he go swimming?? did he enjoy?

 

[susannah14]

Ahh!! Awesome! Where did he go swimming?? did he enjoy?

Yep, at an indoor pool at the Carousel. A friend of mine has a place there. He LOVED it. Kept splashing around and then being like "AHH there's water in my eyes!"

Your son has a beautiful name to go with his beautiful chin!

Ohh Delaware. What a small world.

He's a huge cutie. My LO has a tiny one that you can't notice too much, I have a tiny one as well that people would only notice if they really look hard.

Thank you, yours is a cutie as well.

Yes I am a MDer and travel through Delaware all the time on my way to the ocean. It is a small world

I have a cleft chin but neither of my parents have it. No clue where I got it from. Mine isn't super cleft though.

Edit: just saw you think of it as a defect. That is kind of insulting to me. It isn't a defect at all and I've never been bothered by mine. I'm actually sad my kids didn't get one.

 

[Leids]

I didn't see anyone say it was a defect, not sure why it was mentioned earlier in the thread actually. She just asked about it. It's kind of like a child having blue eyes when both parents have brown, just different and very rare but not bad!

I live in northern Delaware (Wilmington), about 5 minutes away from Pennsylvania. A lot different than the southern portion! I used to live in Newark on the border of Elkton MD though. I wish I lived closer to the beach, but Delaware is so tiny that it only takes an hour and a half or so anyway I suppose.

Who thinks of it as a defect, me? You must have misread...I like it and hope it's permanent.

I don't think anyone else said it's a defect either.
