Lots of pumpkin = orange nose?!

[sarah85]

Nope. It's pretty harmless! If you're worried, cut back on the orange vegies! You remember when it happened to Emma - i think I cut back a little on the orange vegies, and used things more like zucchini etc, and she went back to normal pretty quick.

haha, I do remember!!

Well, we have about a week's worth of pumpkin in the freezer at the moment, (in addition to the full pumpkins we have all over the place!) so I'm not sure it's going anywhere! But maybe I'll mix it differently before he starts looking like an oompa loompa

Ta!!! x

Hmmm, I'll remember that.
I've been making and freezing baby food and just froze heaps of sweet potato.
Don't really want DD turning orange!! lol

For ages, Sam would refuse to eat vegies unless they were mixed with pumpkin and sweet potato. His favourite combination was pumpkin, carrot and sweet potato...

I never noticed it at the time, but photos of him between the ages of about 7-11 months, the tip of his nose is distinctly orange. As he got older and his diet became more vaired it went away by itself. I'd actually only noticed it in photos when it had already gone.

Not that this has anything to do with babies but when I worked at a Thorough bred (race horse) stud, they used to feed pumkin to the chesnut coloured yearlings to bring out a really burnt dark orange colour for the sales
