Did you guys know this?

So my coworker who is black had her baby this morning...her husband is white. She sent pictures and I blurted out "the baby looks white!". I guess they take a few days to darken... how am I supposed to know these things? 😅

🤣 When my mom was having my oldest brother there was a young black girl in the same room having a baby. She asked my mom if her milk was going to be chocolate.

I didn't know that until I worked in the NICU and my black co-worker friends filled me in. I was told to look at the babies ears and that was a good indication of how dark the baby would be.

@Wurkoutgurl didn't know that

@HoraceGreenley Bwahaha. I sat here and laughed at this for the past 6 minutes!

The skin colour can have huge variation on mixed race children from quite pale to almost black.

dumpstermeow · 41-45, F

@tallpowerhouseblonde she is dark, dark, and he is white white. 😅

tallpowerhouseblonde · 36-40, F

@dumpstermeow I bet she is not bothered that that you said the baby is white.A little embarrassing is all.

@SW-User I had no clue. 😅

SW-User

The baby could be white skinned.
Genetics can be very unpredictable.

There are so many beautiful combinations possible for delighted parents.

dumpstermeow · 41-45, F

@SomeLikeItHot My point is that I was confused... she is gorgeous and I love her mom to death.

@dumpstermeow
Bless you.
It is hard to know
if you don’t know genetics.

Yes I had a friend like that.. kid was pink.. took a while but he's darkish now.. kinda..

dumpstermeow · 41-45, F

@Coppercoil I was red. I eventually lightened into the hideous pink you see now. 😦

Coppercoil · M

@dumpstermeow perfect pink.. I like to say.. but whatever.

Haniazed

LOL!😅 I've seen some newborns that are pretty dark too though so it's not always...😂

dumpstermeow · 41-45, F

@Haniazed maybe she will be lighter skinned. I'm just so confused. 😭

Haniazed

@dumpstermeow I bet she's gonna be cute regardless🤗

dumpstermeow · 41-45, F

@Haniazed she's already cute... you're absolutely right!

SW-User

LMAO!

dumpstermeow · 41-45, F

@SW-User what's so funny? 😭

Reject · 26-30, M

I didn't look white as a baby and I'm mixed, but then again my mother was white and my father was black... I wonder if that has anything to do with it? 🤔

joesand99 · 41-45, M

Do you always speak your mind? I love it! So you are the girl that I have to say, be nice when we meet new people? :)

marcusaurelius

Well I've read that online

Thank God I don't have to be embarrassed 🙄

dumpstermeow · 41-45, F

@marcusaurelius I don't tend to read about babies in my spare time. 😦

Wurkoutgurl · 46-50, F

@dumpstermeow it's not that big of a deal, don't worry about it

GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M

Babies are cute. It doesn't matter what color they are. Don't worry about it.
