Do these fade or disappear? From what I understand they do go away eventually. just wondering what people's experiences are??

I think they fade - Mine has 
DS's is there and the MIL thought it looked like he'd been kicked in the back.... I swear she looks at me suspiciously now.

Yep they do fade - I forgot all about Gabrielle's one because it has faded away completely. It looked like a nasty bruise though

Yeah, DS has two, one on his bum and one at the top of his leg. I've already been asked what happened to him  I wondered whether the person concerned thought I was making these up

Sam still has them on her back, one spot on her wrist and one on her foot... they are fading very slowly and have been told that they can take up to 3 years or longer to go.

Maya's lasted until she was about 2 1/2, she had them on her lower back. I can't remember if the gremlins had them, I don't think so, and lil miss definitely didn't, but they are much fairer skinned than Maya. My dad thought they were bruises too lol, us Pakeha don't get them

Really? Wow .. I never realised that, not that I had actually thought about it, or researched them.

Yep, it's very rare for a european baby to get one. Very common in polynesian/maori's and asians. My MIL didn't know what it was either so I had to explain it to her and still, I don't think she believed me.
