Birth mark?

Hey girlies. I had a question about the mark on my daughter’s forehead. She was born with it, is has faded slightly since birth and comes out stronger when she’s angry or crying! I’ve googled birth marks and haven’t found anything that matches, midwife and HV both didn’t know what it was either. Has anyone else’s baby had the same?

Hi, my daughter was born with this mark on the back of her neck and forehead. Every time she cried, it gets red. At the hospital, they told me it’s a “angel kiss” and that it would fade by the time she turns two years. Now she is 5 months old, and the mark still there but much lighter.

My daughter has a birth mark at the back of her neck and also shows more when she's upset. She's 9 months old, and it's still showing, but a little faded

My daughter had a mark on her forehead as well and it was a mark she received from when I pushed her out. It went away within 4/5 months after birth.

Looks like a mark from the use of forceps

Stork bite, my little girl has one of her eye too. Supposedly means they were kissed by an angel. Fades after a year or two x

Stork Bite or also known as an angel kiss. My 2 year old was born with it on her forehead (between the eyebrows) back of the head & her lip. You can hardly see it now but when she gets cold or upset it is more noticeable. My 10 week old also had it on her forehead, eyelid & back of her head and seems to be fading more and more each day. I think it has a lovely meaning behind it and makes them the person they are🩷

My daughter had the same thing on the back of her head. It faded by the time she was one. I was a little sad because it was heart shaped 😅

My daughter and I both have this mark. Mine is only visible when I'm angry or sad, and hers is still kinda visible all the time but definitely gets darker when mad or sad

My daughter has a mark like this from forceps. She's 4 now and it comes out when she's upset or tired

It’s named a stork bite or angel kiss they come in different shapes too if you look on google usually in the shape of a heart, angel wings and can also appear on the back of the neck and head. My daughter is 3 and hers is still showing but fades over time I love her little birth mark. They say it’s your baby being kissed by an angel 🤍

Yes that’s an angels kiss! My daughter had one too! Shes 3 and It’s gone now but does reappear during tantrums and if she’s poorly.

Definitely a stork. My daughter is 6 and it still comes out when she's angry or crying

A stork bite. 40% of babies get one, my daughters is on her neck

No, but my boyfriend has one! It doesn’t come out triggered by anything sometimes it’s just more visible😊

Storkbite i absolutely love these birthmarks

@Ana Karolina came to say the same thing about my daughter! It was also a great way for us to tell when she was getting close to nap time as it would darken up when tired. She’s almost 4 years old now and it’s completely gone.

Strawberry patch is what my pediatrician said! Goes away in a few months
