If your LO had a stork bite when did it fade?

Question

I always thought they were supposed to fade by the 2nd birthday, my LO will be 2 in just a few months & though it’s definitely faded some since birth it’s still fairly prominent.

Answer

My son is 3 and I can still see his when he’s upset. But mostly they faded before he was 1. My sister had one that was visible for years and years, she was maybe 10 when it faded.

Answer

My son’s are not usually visible but when he gets upset and his face gets splotchy, you can see it on his neck and above his eye. He’s 2.5.

Answer

I think every stork bite and every kid is different. My LO has one by his ear and temple. I was told a year and if not, i could make a dermatology appt and have the blood vessels lasered. If it doesn't fade completely away (he is 3 months old and it has already faded significantly), then I will wait until he is old enough to make that decision for himself. I honestly forget it is even there most of the time.
