Calm a Crying Baby
Expert Q&A
Question:
Can eating sweet potatoes or carrots make my child turn orange?
Answer:

Although not too common, it is possible for babies to develop an orange/yellow tint to their skin, called carotenemia, from eating a lot of foods high in beta-carotene. It is generally harmless, but it is something to keep in mind for parents of kids who eat lots of yellow and orange vegetables such as carrots, pumpkin and sweet potatoes.
