Just curious...since birth, Rachel has had red veins on her eyelids. The
doctors have never mentioned them so they must be normal. I've not been
arund many newborns and have never paid attention....is this common? When
does it go away? I looked closely today and it's just red veins, all over
her eyelids..........

My son has/had these too. They've faded with time. I think it's
because they're skin is just so thin when they are born that you can
see through it. In addition, my son is *very* fair skinned...a
redhead, so I think that is a factor.
