    Is it true that most babies are born with blue eyes, and the colour changes later?

    		I can only answer from experience of my 3 babies.
    I was born with blue eyes and still has them at 16 yrs old
    The other 2s eyes were almost black when they were born but changed to brown at about 3 months old

    		Most children are born with blue eyes. True eye colour will stabilise at about 6 months.

    		You inherit your eye color from your parents, but no matter what the color is now, it may have been blue when you were born. Why? Melanin, the brown pigment molecule that colors your skin, hair, and eyes, hadn't been fully deposited in the irises of your eyes or darkened by exposure to ultraviolet light. The iris is the colored part of the eye that controls the amount of light that is allowed to enter.
