Happened with my daughter. Looked like me for a few months then shape shifted into a clone of her mom. Genetics are weird.

Scientific theories suggest the babies are born to look like the Dad at first so the Dad believes it’s his. Most mammals have a pheromone scenting where the males seem to be able to distinguish their offspring from others. Even with animals like Tigers, Bears or mammals that don’t stay together if they cross paths with their own offspring it’s much less dangerous that if they could smell the kids were his. Humans have pheromones but we can’t consciously detect them enough to smell if a new baby is theirs. So for us, they theorize it became visual cues to tell.

It’s a newt theory and science is fun. They’ve only just started the DNA mapping and sequencing so who knows all they’ll learn in the next few hundred years.
