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

Thanks.
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 ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

| 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 -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Really? Wow .. I never realised that, not that I had actually thought about it, or researched them. ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone! From flab to fab in under a year http://www.femininefitness.co.nz/category/blog - LFs weight blog

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. ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

Hmmm ok so we fooled everyone then!!! I am very dark skinned and so is my DH and DD but we don't have a scrap of Maori, Polynesian or Asian in us!! Both sides of our families originate from Scandenavia!! -------------
