When do kids get freckles/moles?

[MsMummy]

I recently noticed my son has a dark brown/black small freckle (mole?) on his thigh.

He's 2, with pale skin.

When did other people's kids get freckles/moles?

It depends i think my DD who has really olive skin got her first around 2 and a half to 3 and it's on her scalp only see it when i part her hair down the middle, it's her only one too. DS has had one since about 1 and it's on his groin area at first I thought it was a speck of poo that wouldn't come off. It is his only one but he has fair skin.

My kids have pale, pale, pale skin (think sheet of A4 paper, then go a couple of shades lighter), DS is 2 1/2 and has a spattering of light freckles across his nose They're adorable, but I feel like such a bad Mum for them being there, he wears a hat and sunscreen, plays outside only before 10, after 3 or in the shade... but then, I'm covered in freckles

DD is only 10 months, and she has 3, on the top bit of her forehead, from where her hat would normally cover. She's been burnt twice in her little life Same story, but she yanks her hats off, sit her in the shade and all... STILL she managed to get burnt
I keep telling myself that hers will be covered by hair when its grows through a little more so further damage there will be minimised, but still

I had heaps as a kid and they started showing in photos from about 18 months. DS has an all of three (I'm hoping its a sign he won't be inflicted with them lol)

DD was about 4 when I noticed her first mole, but both kids have had a light dusting of frekles across there nose since they were 3ish

peanutbutter&jelly I was just thinking the exact same thing. Although my boy has very olive skin and doesn't seem too affected by the sun, we went out one day interstate, not realising the sun is different over there. I thought it was an incredibly mild day (it was actually cold) so I wasn't too fussed on the sunscreen/hat. He came home with a pink nose and now has a few freckles on his nose only.. I can't help but think it's my fault for not having a hat on him that day. I fell awful, awful, awful that he got burnt.
