It's always hidden under clothes so I haven't been asked whether or not it's a bruise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asian-mamas-when-did-your-los-mongolian-marks-go-away#post-213547 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 16:57:47 +0000 HabesBabe 213547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have one growing up! So I actually had to Google it... I just gave hubs the heads up about it since our baby will be half Viet/half white. Wonder if he/she will have one... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asian-mamas-when-did-your-los-mongolian-marks-go-away#post-213028 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 10:26:20 +0000 mrsjazz 213028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not just Asian babies!

My family jokes that it means I am a baby forever. When I get a massage they always ask me if I have a bruise. It's definitely a Mongolian spot, not a birth mark because it's really blue/green. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asian-mamas-when-did-your-los-mongolian-marks-go-away#post-212629 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 00:16:47 +0000 calsmom 212629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting!

Maybe because his is permanent it's not considered a Mongolian spot and is a true birthmark instead?</p> <p>My DD is 4 and hers is pretty much faded by now. I'd like to say it was pretty much gone around 3 yo. My almost 1 year old still has hers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asian-mamas-when-did-your-los-mongolian-marks-go-away#post-212591 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 22:58:44 +0000 BSB 212591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm Asian and I've never heard of this before.

I remember her kindergarten teacher called my parents because they thought the spots were bruises... So my parents had to bring over reports from the pediatrician stating they were Mongolian spots and not bruises! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asian-mamas-when-did-your-los-mongolian-marks-go-away#post-211812 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 16:02:20 +0000 singingbee 211812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: when I was born, my mom said to my aunts that she didn't know Asian babies had this.

If someone doesn't know what it is, it can look like someone had really bad bruises. My mom would get asked about ours at daycare all the time. They just didn't see them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asian-mamas-when-did-your-los-mongolian-marks-go-away#post-211797 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 15:51:27 +0000 autumnlove 211797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has one on her back, her Dr said it should fade by the time she is 2 or 3! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/asian-mamas-when-did-your-los-mongolian-marks-go-away#post-211791 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 15:49:42 +0000 anonysquire 211791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh ok, so are they just birth marks?
