I am concerned about my daughter and was wondering if anyone had any ideas about what is going on. This is my first thread, and my family doctor is out of town till Friday. I am a RPN but when it comes to my children I can only think as a mom. The only signs and symptoms she has are ...lack of appetite and...she is slightly orange. Carrots are not a food she will eat so I know to eliminate that. Until I can get her into the Doc's all I can think about is jaundice and live damage.
Well I learned something here today. I knew large amounts of yellow and orange fruits and veggies could make a child change color. I did not know a vitamin could do same thing.

i would think only if said child were ingesting excessive number of said vitamins....
Ok, this sort of thing happened to all three of my toddlers, prompting me to drag them all in to the pedi...During questioning about their dietary preferences, he determined that they all loved carrots and ate them regularly....Their orange hue thankfully, was related to carotene intake and nothing more serious....Take care and keep us posted...
My daughter is an orange tinge because of the carotene in her vitamins. This makes me feel very relieved. She is a happy healthy 2 year old. Now that my nerves are shot, I will get ready for my 1st. prenatal exam. This is my 4th pregnacy and I feel crazy as always.

Wow Mary! I'm glad it wasn't any of the other "diagnosis" that were offered here today!
