A new mum says her son was left looking like Homer Simpson when she breastfed him and forgot that she was covered in fake tan.
Keziah Jozefiak, 20, was getting ready to go out for a meal with boyfriend James Smith, 21, when five-month-old Raf needed feeding. She said she went into autopilot and started feeding him without realising she was leaving marks all over his face.
Keziah said: ‘When I looked down at Raf I just burst out laughing. I couldn’t believe the tan had left his mouth looking like Homer. Raf was asleep so I thought I could squeeze in some tanning time but he woke up starving mid tan.
‘It is the first and definitely last time I feed him with my tan still on. It hadn’t actually occurred to me that the tan could transfer onto him. I took a picture and sent it to my girl friends and they were all laughing as well. Everyone is finding it hilarious and my mum rang me in tears she found it so funny.’
Keziah usually tans once a week and applies it in the evening before washing it before bed so it never comes into contact with her son.
It took an hour for the panicking mum to remove the hilarious tanning fail from her baby boy’s face, leaving her ready for her night out.
Keziah said: ‘It took me a good solid hour to get the tan off his face properly but he found the whole thing hilarious.
‘I used baby oil and baby wipes and he looked shiny and clean after.
‘Fortunately, Bondi Sands tan is really good for your skin.’
