But he also has them around both of his ankles! When I was at the hospital, the nurses had to tell me that they were Mongolian spots..... Not bruises from the ID band and baby LoJack! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-or-anyone-you-know-have-stork-bitesangels-kisses#post-188602 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 20:10:27 +0000 chopsuey 188602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never heard of these terms! My LO has a light brown birthmark on the back of her head though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-or-anyone-you-know-have-stork-bitesangels-kisses#post-188473 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 18:09:06 +0000 mynoahbear 188473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO has angel kisses on her one eyelid and her forehead between her eyebrows. It's normally not too noticeable but when she cries or is mad, it gets redder. She also has a stork bite on the back of her neck. We've had issues with it getting scaley and irritated looking, so her docto gave us lotion for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-or-anyone-you-know-have-stork-bitesangels-kisses#post-188402 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 16:36:55 +0000 MsMamaBear 188402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, both but they are fading. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-or-anyone-you-know-have-stork-bitesangels-kisses#post-188401 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 16:35:00 +0000 Honeybee 188401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of my kids have stork bites on the backs of their necks. They also have matching birthmarks (DD's is on the left side of her nose, and DS's is on the right side of his nose)! DD's has faded quite a bit, so most people don't even notice it now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-or-anyone-you-know-have-stork-bitesangels-kisses#post-188360 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 16:08:44 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 188360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep, she has both. On one eyelid and on the back of her neck. The one on the back of her neck looks like the Hawaiian islands. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-or-anyone-you-know-have-stork-bitesangels-kisses#post-188359 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 16:08:41 +0000 mamimami 188359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My babe had them but they're pretty much gone and/or covered by his hair. I didn't even notice when they went away but they were definitely there and now they're not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-or-anyone-you-know-have-stork-bitesangels-kisses#post-188356 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 16:06:51 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 188356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My younger daughter has it on bilateral eyelids and the back of her neck. The medical term is "flamus nevus" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-or-anyone-you-know-have-stork-bitesangels-kisses#post-188339 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 15:48:14 +0000 MegWag 188339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son has a stork bite on the side of his nose. He's 15 weeks and it's faded some already. It's definitely more prominent when he's upset.<br /> I still don't understand the difference between stork bites and angel kisses. I thought they were different names for the same thing... I guess not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-or-anyone-you-know-have-stork-bitesangels-kisses#post-188286 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 15:11:46 +0000 JessicaMcB 188286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My female lawyer's daughter has a pretty prominent angels kiss on her forehead. She also happens to have a head full of luscious hair, so they kind of cover it up with her little bangs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-or-anyone-you-know-have-stork-bitesangels-kisses#post-188280 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 15:06:05 +0000 PastaAndPotato 188280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@purrpletulips: i teased him mercilessly for quite a while - he's a police officer, and should be more observant!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-or-anyone-you-know-have-stork-bitesangels-kisses#post-188269 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:56:08 +0000 regberadaisy 188269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cousin in law's daughter has angel's kisses on her face (above her eyes and down through the nose). They were very visible when she was just born but I have noticed they have lighten. She's just a bit over a year old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-or-anyone-you-know-have-stork-bitesangels-kisses#post-188268 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:55:27 +0000 purrpletulips 188268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastaandpotato: when i commented on the observation report the one teacher (who knew it was always there) made a comment along the line of "you can guess who holds her the most" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-or-anyone-you-know-have-stork-bitesangels-kisses#post-188266 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:54:39 +0000 yin 188266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My niece has one on her forehead, and it is barely noticeable now at 9 months. </p> <p>@mrs. wagon: My LO also has mongolian spots on his body (butt, back, and arms). My sister had them too, and they went away when she was older -- maybe around 5 or 6? It just takes some time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-or-anyone-you-know-have-stork-bitesangels-kisses#post-188264 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:53:40 +0000 PastaAndPotato 188264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@purrpletulips: my DH didn't notice mine at all until we were together about 2 years, and i wear my hair up 90% of the time lol - and it's rather large, too, about the size of 2 half dollars - he's super observant haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-or-anyone-you-know-have-stork-bitesangels-kisses#post-188258 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:52:34 +0000 katmmad 188258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my son has an angel's kiss on his forehead, right between his eyes -- he's still got it and he's nearly 10 months... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-or-anyone-you-know-have-stork-bitesangels-kisses#post-188253 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:50:04 +0000 pastemoo 188253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My nephew had an angel kiss on his eyelid, and now, at 6 months, it's gone.

The one on the back of her head is now covered with hair, the one on her neck is fading as is the one on her forehead/between her eyes. It's interesting how some people notice them and others don't. She's had them since birth but one of her daycare teachers sent home an observation report noting them while the other teacher knew exactly what they were and that they had always been there (both teachers knew LO for the same amount of time).</p> <p>My niece has one on her forehead that looks like an upside down handprint, she is almost 5 and it has pretty much faded unless she gets really mad in which case it turns red. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-or-anyone-you-know-have-stork-bitesangels-kisses#post-188229 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:39:52 +0000 mrsmenow 188229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My oldest DD has the stork bite and Angel's kiss. The stork bite you can still see, but it has definately faded and when she gets really hot (she's 10)it gets darker and the Angel's kiss is just a little spot between her eyebrows at the top of her nose that you can only see when she gets mad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-or-anyone-you-know-have-stork-bitesangels-kisses#post-188222 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:34:11 +0000 mrs. wagon 188222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wagon Jr. has mongolian spots all over his back, shoulders, legs, and ankles. They have faded over time but at 2.5 years old they're still noticeable to the point where we have to explain to people that they're not bruises...!!! </p> <p>I have a strawberry birthmark on my leg that is just as bright red as when I was young! Wagon Jr. likes to press on it with his little, hard fingertip and say "ouch!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-or-anyone-you-know-have-stork-bitesangels-kisses#post-188221 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:33:36 +0000 calsmom 188221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: I heard the ones on the back of the neck usually don't fade. The ones on the face are supposed to at the very least fade by the time they are 2. Not in all cases though. We shall see! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-or-anyone-you-know-have-stork-bitesangels-kisses#post-188218 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:31:47 +0000 heffalump 188218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She has stork bites on her neck and a little birth mark on her left leg. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-or-anyone-you-know-have-stork-bitesangels-kisses#post-188217 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:30:53 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 188217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO has them on one eyelid and some onthe back of her neck. I heard they would fade but she's almost 5 months and I haven't noticed a change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-or-anyone-you-know-have-stork-bitesangels-kisses#post-188215 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:30:11 +0000 calsmom 188215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PastaAndPotato: That would be a stork bite. The ones on the face are angel's kisses.
