An infantâs eyes may change color or darken during the first 3 to 6 months of his life, explains KidsHealth from Nemours. Occasionally, the process takes even longer. Your babyâs eye color becomes firmly established by 6 to 12 months, Sutter Health reports. Once your baby reaches his first birthday, his eyes will most likely remain the same general color for the rest of his life.
Babies of African and Asian descent are usually born with brown eyes that stay brown. Caucasian babies are often born with steel gray or dark blue eyes; they may stay gray or blue or turn green, hazel, or brown by the time they're 9 months old. That's because a child's irises (the colored part of the eye) may gain more pigment in the months after she's born, but they won't get lighter or more blue. (Green, hazel, and brown eyes actually have more pigment than grey or blue eyes, even if they appear lighter in color.) AAP. 2012. Newborn eye color.
