A child's complexion is the standard for judging their health. When a child is sick, their complexion becomes unpleasant, so parents can judge whether their child is healthy based on their complexion. So, what is the reason for a nine month old baby's complexion turning yellow?

1. Baby's skin is yellow, but the sclera of the eyes is not yellow. This situation is usually related to diet. It is usually found in long-term large intake of oranges, oranges, carrots, etc. The skin is yellow and there are no other clinical symptoms. Generally speaking, as the intake of carrots, carrots, oranges, and oranges decreases and stops, a child's skin will gradually return to normal.
2. In addition to the yellowing of the baby's skin, the sclera of the eyes also begins to turn yellow. This usually indicates a significant increase in bilirubin, and attention should be paid to liver issues. You should immediately go to the pediatric gastroenterology department or pediatric clinic for a blood test and liver function examination. Based on the examination results, medical history, and physical examination, determine further examination, identify the cause, and actively treat the cause. If a baby has a picky and selective diet, the probability of developing anemia is also very high.

It is important to give the child a balanced diet and eat foods rich in vitamins and proteins as much as possible. If diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia, appropriate iron supplements should be given.
If various examination results show that the child's liver function or other parts of the body are normal.

There is no need to worry too much.
