Yesterday, at nursery, they were doing painting and I was told that DS had covered himself in red paint. DS was mostly clean when I picked him up, but did have some red paint on him here and there, including on his lips. DS is 19 months.
Today, nursery rang me at work. DS had had a big red poo and they were concerned, saying that they thought I might want to come and have a look, and that they'd saved the nappy for me.
Obviously this all sounded alarming, so I went to the nursery to get DS and check out this nappy, which was indeed very very red.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, the red stuff in the nappy turned out to be red paint. Lots and lots of red paint. DS must have managed to eat vast quantities of it for that much to come out the other end. I'm really quite annoyed about this now, probably mostly because the whole thing was so worrying at first.
AIBU to think that they should have stopped him from eating lots of paint? Or if they're going to let toddlers eat paint, they should at least pick a colour that's not likely to be mistaken for blood?

to think that nursery shouldn't let DS eat paint?
