"Your baby's body uses the beta-carotene in sweet potatoes to make vitamin A, which is essential for cell growth, good vision and also has an antioxidant effect.
But your baby only converts as much beta-carotene to vitamin A as he needs - the rest is deposited in his skin and is responsible for the orange hue (particularly around the nose) often seen in babies who eat lots of yellow or orange veggies."

Fascinating! Obv. Jordan never had an orange nose, nor has John, and I am going to pretend it's due to melanin, although Madeline has never had one either.
Peas. Peas are their veggie of choice (she said, blushing).
