What color of eyes will my baby most likely have?

Question

I just think this stuff is interesting, and although I'm not planning on having a baby anytime soon, I was just wondering what color of eyes my baby would have if my boyfriend and I had a baby. He has hazel eyes and his mom has brown. We don't really know his dad, but my boyfriend said his dad has hazel eyes too. I have brown eyes and my mom has blue as well as my three brothers, but my dad has brown.

What are the chances of my baby having blue eyes? I know I carry the gene for them somewhere, but would the chances be very slim?

Answer 1

I think i would be a dark blue eyes. because my daughter has dark blue and my husband and i both have hazel.

Answer 2

all babies are born with blue eyes and as they get older 4-6 months, the eye color changes to what it will be for life. Brown eyes are usually dominate but it's not perfection that they will have them. Since your and his family have hazel eyes, there is a greater chance they will have the same color.

Answer 3

If you and your boyfriend are both carriers of the blue gene, then there's a good chance. I have hazel eyes-my mom has brown and my dad has hazel. My husband has brown eyes-his mom has blue eyes and his dad has brown eyes. Our daughter has bright blue eyes. So it's possible.  

Answer 4

most likely brown eyes

Answer 5

yes the chances are very very slim. Brown is dominant & since both of you have a brownish color eye, the baby would more then likely have brown eyes.

Answer 6

Hi ;) It could very well be anything. My mom had brown eyes, my dad too, both had one parent with blue eyes and one parent with brown eyes.

I have blue eyes, but both my brothers have brown eyes...The chances are not so slim (my brother, brown eyed and his gf, blue eyes, had 3 children and they all have very blue eyes)

The only certain possibility is when 2 persons with blue eyes are expecting together, blue being the recessive gene.

Sorry to say, but it'll all be a surprise!!! :P

Congrats!
