HALLOWEEN is a time when many parents dress their little munchkins up in cute costumes – but the latest trend is rear-ly bizarre.
Grab your easel and paintbrush as making your baby’s butt into a pumpkin is the new craze, and we aren’t sure what to make of it.
Mums and dads have been making their newborn’s bottom’s orange and green and adding the hashtag #pumpkinbutt to get into the autumn mood.
Some have even gone as far to decorate their whole brood’s behinds, in honour of the Halloween season.
One mum, Jessica, wrote: “One day they are going to hate us....but til they can fight us off, we shall paint their bums!"
And mum Victoria Moore, told allthemoms.com: “I know some moms don’t like it, but I just see it as harmless and cute. I also look forward to embarrassing him later in life when he has girlfriends. (Just kidding, I’ll be nice).”
The art of baby bottom decorating appears to have started a few years ago, but has become a popular practice this year in the run up to the Halloween season.
However, not everyone is for the pumpkin butt trend.
Mum blogger Gina Fenton of Extreme Mom, wrote a post advising mums to "Say NO to Pumpkin Butts!"
She said: "Babies are not chalk boards or blank canvases, for God’s sake."
"Worse yet is posting these humiliating photos on the Internet for everyone and their brother to copy, paste and pin to Pinterest where the copy-paste-post cycle will repeat for all of eternity.
"Soon enough, Pumpkin Butt will grow into a child with emotions who’s capable of independent thought and will more than likely resent the hell out of the artist."
And one Twitter user said: “I'm sorry but I don't find naked baby pictures to be appealing. Like I find zero joy in seeing a pumpkin painted on your child's butt. Pass.”
We previously wrote about the mum who takes ‘twinning’ trend to the extreme by always wearing the same clothes as her two-year-old daughter.
Primark has launched an adorable £5 Halloween costumes for BABIES… including a monster onesie and a pumpkin tutu.
