Stork bite!

[Lou]

Hi

Since Isaac was born he has had a red rash on the back of his neck. I thought it was a birth mark and always forgot to mention it to the HV. Anyway I asked today and the HV said its called a "stork bite" and its just broken blood vessels on the back of the neck and that most people have it and don't know about it!

Anyone else heard of this?

i think thats what alex has, my mil commented as my fil has the same.

alex has quite a few dry/inflamed skin patches so although this patch was different i always assumed it was just more of the same.

had no idea it was a common thing, how weird

wil have to search for pics on the net to see if it looks the same.

cute name - i guess that came from when the stork brings the baby they hold them by the scruff of the neck like kittens and puppies? always liked the stork story

Jamie has it too!! i thought it was a birth mark due to the way he was in the womb...he was face first so had his neck arched backwards! always presumed the mark was because of that!

Ella has this too and I did when I was a baby, I asked the HV about it and she said they say its where the stork brought the baby! She said its a birth mark and thats why I had it too. and that it fades eventually, elaas is starting to go now

Maheen has is too, and it's cute, it's in the shape of a upside down heart!

The HV said it should fade gradually, but that it can take quite long.

Zara's got it, I've got it (my Mum told me) and my Grandpa's got it (he's bald). A nice connection I think.
