I hate to say it, but when my son was born, he looked like a werewolf, he had black hair on his ears, back, butt, all over his body. Except he had no eyebrows and blonde eyelashes! He was delivered quickly, so he wasn't swollen, red, or bruised. A lot of people thought he was a cesarean baby since his head wasn't a conehead. A few weeks later, he developed baby acne! Poor guy, he's a cutie now;) I expected him to look cute right away since the babies always do in the movies and television shows-but they do because they are always at least a few months old! My nephew looked like the guy from the movie "powder", he was very pale, bald, and you could see his veins in his head. So how about your children? What did they look like as newborns?

Haaaa,first, I'd like to say congratulations to you because you've became a father! That's more responsibily on you, right? I've not actually seen a newborn baby yet,but I 've heard something about a newborn babies. My mother told me my skin look like an old man when I just born. So, it's nature! Congratulations again for you and the new born baby!

My son was born a month early.He had hair all over his back also.He also had a head full of hair and a ;ittle on his face like sideburns.He was very cute anyway.He is part Indian so he was dark skinned.But you know how they they take their picture at the hospital.They parted his hair on the side and combed it over.It is the funniest picture of a baby I ever saw.I wish I had the equiptment to download it.Everyone would get a kick out of it.To me all babies are cute.No matter what they look like.

My poor daughter was 12 days late and when she finally came out she looked like she had gone 10 rounds with Tyson!! One of her ears was slightly bent forward and I had to make sure she slept on it everynight to put it back in place. As she was delivered by ventouse, she looked like she was wearing a red skull cap for the first few days of her life and also being overdue, all her skin was wrinkled and I had to put olive oil on her skin everyday!! Apart from that, she was absolutely gorgeous in my eyes!!

I was expecting my baby to look funny and was quite surprised when he didn't. He came out with no vernix, pink and crying this really cute cry. When I saw his face for the first time I couldn't believe how perfect he was... He has an adorable, pouty mouth and his eye color is purplish blue.. my mom says it's 'lilac', but it's a darker color than that. I've never seen purple eyes before! The thing that makes him so cute is his expressions... my husband has already perfected his impersonation of him.. he makes the funniest faces. He's got a really strong neck and has been holding his head up since his fourth day on earth.... okay, really must stop or I will go on and on, but no, I didn't think he looked funny... he does look a bit like an elf when he has a hat on, though.

No - my son was adorable from the word go - a little bit red looking but very cute.. Your son has obviously made up from his quirky looks since - he's gorgeous now.

My baby is a cesarean and he was very cute by his birth till now but is a lean baby compared to others of his age,but as they are our loved ones and are out of our blood we cant hate them however they are and should be loved always.

My son had a really smashed face when he was born. He had a little bit of a cone head, too. But his head was HUGE. It was off the charts for a newborn, and is still right at the 95th percentile. His skin was a little bit red, but the only bruising he had was on the top of his head. He had A LOT of black hair. It just grew on his head, though. It was down in his eyes and all the way to the bottom of his ears, though. He had first haircut the day we came home from the hospital. :) His eyebrows and eyelashes are still lighter than the rest of his hair, even though he's almost 15 months old now. Oh, and his really long hair still just stuck straight out! Everywhere. The only reason we knew that it came down into his eyes was from brushing it down, even though that didn't do any good.

When my son was born, I thought he was the most gorgeous baby ever born! But, looking back now, I see that he was rather funny looking. LOL When my daughter was born, she was not breathing and was put on a respirator and feeding tube so she had so many tubes and wires sticking out of her, she didn't look human.

Yeah, they don't really look lovable at the start. My little boy looked a bit puffy and he cried a lot but he turned out to be the most beautiful baby in the world after a few days.

Mine were both so overdue that they had long since lost their protective vernix. They were both chapped with lots of red patches and peeling skin all over. My first had a cone head and my second had the plates on the top overlapping but no coning at all. My second had baby acne as well which I think was actually a dairy sensitivity. My second was also very white, almost blueish for weeks.

I don't have any children of my own yet but I remember what my parents told me about me. They said I looked like a little monkey and my dad will always throw in a purple monkey comment. I've seen pictures of me when I was born, I was little squashed up but I didn't think I looked like a monkey...lol.

My babies were gorgeous looking but when I was bornm myself my mom used to say I looked exactly like a bear. With your son's description I think I looked like him and I still struggle with lot of unwanted hair. My granny used to make dough of wheat floor and lightly rub all over me daily before bath and that got rid of a lot of hair around ,my back and ears and forhead. It should not stick to the skin and should be kneaded properly so that it doesn' hurt the baby. when they grow up you can use paste of turmeric and gram flour and some oil and use it as scrub but only when they are four plus. my son looked like kneaded dough when he was bormn. I actually though soemone has kneade dough to make Inidan bread and kept him there. My daughter also resembled him only. My mom says if you eat left over dinners next day durting pregnancy kids will be born with lots of hair on their body. ANd during pregnancy one banana and one cup of milk atleast is very essential early in the morning on empty stomach. That ensures coming of a chubby baby. But you shopuld stop it when you reach eightth month otherwise you will have an overweight baby.

When I first saw my baby when she came out she looks so dark and every part of her body was crampled. But the next day she looks totally cute and so soft. I wasn't able to see my second baby right after giving birth to him because I blocked out during the delivery and I only woke up after a couple of hours. I even woke up knowing I haven't given birth yet. I was totally disoriented.
