I saw a friend at the mall yesterday and her mom asked me if my babys eyes were blue. I told her they were like a light brown and getting lighter. She said that she "heard" if you put breastmilk in the babys eyes, they will stay light. LOL. Has anyone heard of this before?

  1. ive never heard of this before. but when i gove my so breast milk in a bottle it got in his eyes once and he has dark blue eyes so to answer your ? no i dont think it will have them  lighter


  2. No, ive never heard of that. sounds like an old wives tale to me. WHy would you want to squirt your baby in his/her eyes with breastmilk? that just seems really wrong to do.

    your baby's eye color has nothing to do with if you put breastmilk in his.her eyes.

    An infant's eye color is determined by a substance called melanin. Melanin is a dark pigment contained in the iris, the structure that controls how much light is allowed into the eye. The color of the iris is determined by the amount of melanin in the iris. Light eyes have very little pigment, whereas darker eyes have a lot. In newborns, the pigmentation process of the iris is not yet complete. Babies with darker skin are usually born with dark eyes that stay relatively dark. Iris color in lighter-skinned babies is usually a blue or bluish-gray color at birth, then change as they grow. Melanin production changes during the first year of life, usually resulting in a darker, deeper eye color.

    Permanent eye color is not set until a baby is at least nine months old, so wait until your child's first birthday to determine what color they will be.

    An infant's eye color is influenced by the eye color of their parents. Eye color is often studied in the field of genetics because of its inheritance patterns, but is still not fully understood.


  3. WHAT A LOAD OF RUBBISH!!!!

  4. haha, no, must be an old wives' tale. you can put breastmilk in anyone's eye when it is infected and it will clear it up.  

  5. nah! she probaly heard about in in the olden days

  6. No, and there's no way that would possibly work.  It's not scientifically possible. and it sounds mean.  Hope she was kidding.  

  7. no but my friend when she was a baby she had blue eyes and curly blond hair, now she hair brown eyes and wavy brown hair. i think your eyes and hair etc can change as the begin to mature..

  8. I'm all for scientific research and would be glad to volunteer

  9. no i havent but i wouldnt try it since it could irratate the baby's eyes  

  10. No I havent!! Sounds weird 2 me!!

  11. Ha ha, no that's the most silliest thing to do

  12. no, but i have heard that if you put breastmilk into a baby's eye when it's infected, that it will clear up the infection...
