    9 month old looks a bit yellow/orange

    Hi All,

    Recently I've noticed that Eva has started to look a bit yellowish/orange around her nose and eye brows. Over Easter a couple of other people have noticed as well. Her eyes are perfectly clear. I have googled and there is mention that bubs can go a bit yellowy due to a diet high in carrots, pumpkin and sweet potato. Eva has at least 2 bowls of these foods per day. My other concern is liver problems but she hasn't any other symptoms.

    Any suggestions???

    Too much orange food. I have seen it a fair bit in babies that age.
