Ive had to make a little extension for my Pumpkin. At the moment it is just a big card lid with straw on it - I don't know what else to do!
Now there is the baby pumpkin, will it forcus its energy on the that rather than leaves?

As a mere man I think you are becoming a bit too maternal
Firstly I would take the lid off and avoid touching the embryo fruit the neck can be quite brittle.
Regarding the second part of your query the answer is No! the vine will still keep growing.
Then if you are lucky you will get more embryo fruit.
If you do get say three fruit forming and pollinatination is obvious (pregnancy/swelling
) then cut of the end of the vine (the umbilical cord) then the plants energy will go on reproduction (seeds) and increased growth.
There end my lesson on the birds and the bees
