2 month old baby with red hair?

Question

If a 2 month old baby's hair is coming in red, are the chances pretty high that they will be a redheaded child? My daughter had black hair when she was born, but she's now 4 with dirty blonde hair. My sister's baby has red hair and it is so cute, and SO different. I've never seen a baby with red hair before!

Answer 1

LOL ~ How cute..

A cousin of mine was born with black hair, then it changed to blonde at about 2-3 months then it settled into a fiery, bright red color - and its still red to this day years later!

Babies change constantly until they are about 6 months to a year old.. so just because she may have redish hair now doesn't mean she'll be stuck with it forever.

When I was born, personally, I had black hair -- then at 5-6 months, it changed to pale blonde and stayed pale/white blonde for most of my life. I'm in my 20's now and its a strawberry blonde color naturally (but I keep it dyed so no one knows my real color!! lol)

But I'd at least wait until she's a year old before you start stressing over hair or eye color.. <3

Answer 2

My sons hair started coming in red between 2-3 months and now he's such a cute red headed 6 year old boy.  Enjoy it and just make sure that you use a lot of sunscreen on your baby so that they don't freckle too much.  My son only gets a few freckles across his nose/cheeks during the summer time.

Answer 3

My hair came in red as a baby, and its still red 25 years later.  Most likely he'll have red hair.  Red haired babies are soooooo cute.

Answer 4

My daughter was born with ginger hair and it started to go blonde around 6 months but still had a tinge of red in it she now has blonde hair and if you part her hair in the middle of head there is a red hair still there underneath!

Answer 5

I was born with red hair and turned blonde between 1-2 years of age.  Still blonde 38 years later!  My Mother in law was born a redhead and stayed one all her life though.  Meanwhile, my son was born with light brown hair, and he's now 7 weeks old.  His baby hair is falling out now, and the hair that's coming in underneath it is really white blonde!  

So I guess there's really no way to tell until the baby is at least a year or two old.  How fun though!  

Answer 6

my son was born a redhead and is still one at 9!  It's a good possibility!
