    I googled this and looks like he's got carotenemia which means basically he's been eating too much carotene foods (carrots, squash, sweet potatos, green beans, etc). Yep, he eats alot of this. Quick and easy baby food. Great! Now what? It could take a while for it to clear up...he's gotta start eating more green veggies (seems like only peas) or regular potatos. This should be fun. Grabbing a jar of baby food is so easy...and eliminating those with carotene is eliminating about 99% of all baby food veggies. I may try cauliflower. I can't believe all the veggies so high in Vitamin A/Carotene.

    This really popped up out of no where now it's gonna take some time to clear up.

    Poor guy's nose :(

    Geesh.

    My son's nose was orange for his first birthday. I didn't even notice until I saw the pictures. It actually went away pretty fast I think! It's sort of cute in the pictures.

    Both my kids started to turn orange too, and it only took a few days/week to clear up. Just think of it as an indicator light :lol:
