It was late fall 2005 the first time I made a baby go orange. Poor Jax had a clueless mom! He loved carrots and sweet potatoes and I would feed them to him all the time…a little too often. It was during a photo shoot that I looked at the pictures and thought “is he orange?”, sure enough he was. Beta-carotene overload Wendy informed me. She in fact turned Leigh orange, so I guess it runs in the family.
With Kai I was much more aware of when he last ate beta-carotene rich food so I could avoid the healthy orange ‘glow’…but you know how it gets the more babies that come along the more relaxed you get! I looked at Billie the other day and thought oh no is she gonna go too??? Needless to say I’ve been laying off the orange food to keep her a nice, normal colour.
Tip#1 You know it, I know it….moderation is key!
Peace out dudes…
