Well, I read that the whiter or fairer the baby's skin, the more visible
the red veins are. But they are pretty normal.

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..........
