My friend said the second baby usually looks more like the mother?

Question

Is this true? I was hoping my little boy would look like his gorgeous daddy

Answer 1

My older brother was my mom's second and he looks exactly like his father did.

My sister has a 3 year old and a 7 month old and their baby pictures look identical... both look like their dad.

Answer 2

My oldest looks just like her dad and my 2nd looks just like me. that happened with my sister's kids too.

Answer 3

Its true for us- baby# 2 looks just like me; baby #1 looks like hubby.  

Answer 4

Not true any baby can look like either parent. I know people and all kids look like one parent or bits of each. My daughter looks like both myself and my husband. My brother was the second child and i was the first I'm a spitting image of my mum and he is of my dad with the opposites in personality. So you just never know.

Answer 5

Nope! Not true. Hubby has 3 kids previous to the one we are expecting and all look just like him. I have a cousin who also has three children all looking like their father. It's just the luck of the draw. Depends on which features slip through.  

Answer 6

Its true in my family!!! Plus, lots of my friends family's seem to follow this pattern however it is obviously not a scientific fact.  Don't bet your life on it! lol

Answer 7

That's total BS.  My first child is the spitting image of me and my second looks exactly like his father.  My third also looks like his father, and the fourth looks a bit like both of us.  

Answer 8

Wish that was true, id love my 2nd to look something like me.. my first child looks like her father so bad, i hate it, being were no longer together, but she is still gorgous

Answer 9

SO not true my twins came out looking EXACTLY like me LOL I told my husband I don't think they are his and he said I don't think so eather looks like your eggs got together and had a couple of babies LOL

Answer 10

Look  at his family and look at yours see who has the stronger genes.. i look like my dad and my brother looks like my dad but my mom here whole family they is not a strong resemblance with any of them so  it all depends on genes

i had a son and he looks like me i am fair skin and blonde hair and my husband is dark hair and brown  eyes

ither way your son will be gorheous no matter how he looks he will look perfect in your eyes and that should be all that matters...

Answer 11

nope not true. How your babies will look depends on the dominant genes, not in what order they were born.

Answer 12

Maybe you should read up on genetics

Answer 13

It goes my dominate genes.... not order. I do look like my father even though I was first born but my older step sisters all look like there mother while my younger half sister looks like our mom. ( step mom had the children before she married my father, father and my mother had me, divorced and she had my younger sister with my sisters father) My fathers genes were the dominate genes between my mother and him and vise verse for my mother and my sisters father. Our daughter looks JUST like her father, and he looks just like his mother as does his older brother. Hope this makes sense.  

Answer 14

That's not true.  I know a family with 4 kids and they ALL look like their dad.  That's just a wives' tale.

Answer 15

Not true in our case, our daughter looks EXACTLY like me at the same age.  My mom gave me a picture of a "child" with a cat and I was thinking "when was she around a siamese cat?  what a cute picture!"  well, lol it was ME when I was her age.....bizarre.... her teeth are even coming in exactly like mine did, a little crooked in all the same places.  

Answer 16

No I'm a second child and I'm the spitting image of my father. It's just a matter of genes and luck basically there is no way of predicting who a child will look like

Answer 17

not true. my aunt's second baby(girl) looks like the daddy. her first child(girl) does too. and the third baby(boy) looks like the daddy too. I look like my aunt though. people call me her twin or Lil Keitha

Answer 18

not true both my kids look like my husband

Answer 19

ive heard that girls look like their dads
