My baby's poop turned orange recently. Is it a diet thing or should I worry?

Orange poop in babies is common and almost always related to diet, not a cause for concern.
If your baby drinks breast milk, the beta-carotene from your diet (carrots, sweet potatoes, squash) passes through breast milk and can turn poop orange. Once babies start solid foods, eating these vegetables directly causes the same orange color. Some vitamin drops can also turn poop orange.
See your doctor if: poop turns white/clay-colored, looks red/bloody, or if your baby has fussiness, fever, or vomiting along with it. Orange color alone is not a problem.
