Genetics Question (baby's Eye Color)

we cant predict what colour the baby's eyes will be in the future but most babies have blue eyes when they are born and they slowly change within a week or 2.

there is really only a 25% chance s/he will have blue eyes, 25% hazel, and 50% dark. Brown is dominent, but it is also possible for two brown eyed people to have a blue-eyed baby, if they carry the ressisive gene of course. I have hazel eyes, and my boyfriend has blue eyes, and my baby could of course have brown eyes. His son has blue eyes, when his mom has brown. So it's basically random genes, that's where down syndrome comes from, just randomness... although now, you can change it, but it sounds like you didn't, so again, random...

Good Luck!

Even though I have to agree about the logic and science behind a childs eye color I have read that sometime the eye color can change as the child gets older. Also I have read that the child may have brown eyes no matter how blue the eyes of the parents are!

Despite that though, your child COULD have blue eyes...if you really want it to. I actually found I site where the doctor preforms eye color changing surgeries.

Good Luck![/quote Very possible! My boyfriend & I both have dark brown eyes - & somehow have a blue eyed baby girl. Dark is dominant over light, yet you nvr know what genes are going into making your baby.. until of course - he's here!

I am a brown eyed, brunette. My mother is a blue eyed, red head. My father a brown eyed, brunette.
My husband is a hazel eyed, brunette but lighter than mine, almost a sandy brown.
He was adopted so we don't know about his parents looks.
We have a hazel eyed, blonde son. Eyes used to be VERY blue.
A blue eyed, blonde daughter and my new baby girl appears to be a blue eyed, brunette. So who knows????

72.7% Brown
13.6 % Blue
13.6 % Green

Those are your odds according to you , your mate and both sets of parents. Your mothers eye color is considered to be Brown in the "eye color world" Would be nice to know what your and your mates siblings eye colors are, that has an effect too. Grandparents not needed.

Oh and would like to add, Grey eyes fall under blue. Hazel falls under brown. Human beings have 3 eye colors brown, green or blue.

so how do you tell the difference between hazel and green

Both my sister and her husband are cinnamon colored skin and dark brown eyes. Their youngest daughter came out light skin and sky blue eyes, she looks just like her daddy with my sisters feautures... my mom and my grandpa are the only ones with green eyes. On my dads side only my great grandpa had blue eyes... if you ask me the color of the eyes don't matter, but your babys health and how much love you can provide.

I know this post is like, 12 years old and you probably know your baby's eyes by now, but here's one for you.

My Dad has Blue eyes (as does both his parents and siblings) My mum has green eyes.
I have two sisters- one has green, and one has blue.
I have brown eyes. Go figure.
PLUS,
My husband has blue eyes, both his parents blue, and all of his siblings the same.
Our firts daughter looked as though she had brown eyes until she was about tow. She's now 5 and they are definately green now- a very green hazel at least, they are getting greener all the time.
Our second daughter has the kind of blue eyes that people stop to comment on- she's two now, and they've never changed since they lost the newborn navyness, and went a more crystal blue.
It's a totally different blue than anyone on either side of the family.

I'm pregnant with no 3 now, and am not even bothering trying to predict who's going to show up this time!!!!!
