Pigment in biracial babied

Hi,

Me (fair caucasion) and my husband (afroamerican) had our first child three months ago. Our son is totally white looking with blue eyes and sandy blod straight hair. My husband is fully african american and very dark.

My question is could our child stay "white looking", and could he keep his blue eyes when my husband is not carrying any blue genes?

Very thankful for an answer,

Milos mum

Your husband may have a recessive trait for blue eyes. I have seen (rarely) a dark african-american with blue eyes. It takes african-american babies a while to darken up. Maybe it takes a little longer if they are half white.

The baby could keep the blue eyes or by 4-5 months they can change to brown.  I am white, dark-haired, blue eyed.  DH is Asian, light tan, green eyes. DD was born with jet black straight hair and dark blue eyes.  She is now a little tan, with super curly hair and light brown eyes at 10 months.  Around 4 months, the blue color in her eyes were gone.

Most babies are born with blue eyes.  All four of my kids had blue eyes and then changed when they were between 6 months to a year.

I had a couple of friends in highschool who were from a biracial family mom white dad black the girl came out looking tanned (more black) with black hair and green eyes, her brother came out white blonde and brown eyes. with genetics anything is possible

I am white (red hair, freckles) my husband is carmaral brown

I too has three bi-racial children and the boys are almost "white" looking, they just have a very smooth, pretty, skin color.  Now, my 5 week old DD has a beautiful tan color and has blue, charcoal looking eyes.  My oldest (bi-racial) son had brown eyes from the get go with a blue ring around them and jet black hair that curled up by 3-4 months.  My second youngest had a blue, charcoal looking eyes with a blue ring around them, and now they are brown, changed at about 8 months (maybe), and he had a lite brown-blonde hair color, it curled up at about 8 months too so now he has a fro(just soft curls instead of the tight ones like the older son). I am curious to see what my DD is going to look like and if her hair is going to curl, what color her eyes will be, etc.  I was always told the girls tend to take the daddy's skin tone and whatnot.  SOOOOO......
