I think my daughter ate poo. We were potty training and she was doing really well with the wee aspect, but not so well with the poo. She would hide and only do a poo if no one could see her, she hid behind our patio curtains and did a big poo that I didn't find into she walked into my living room with no trousers or pants on and said icky and pointed at her mouth. I could smell poo so I walked around the house where I found the poo. She had poo on her hands so I think she ate some!!

I thought my darling son had rabies! But he was just eating a slug

clarejw24 · 28/06/2015 21:51

I found half of a strange looking bug dangling from her mouth!

I think this is a tacky thread and totally dumbs down Mumsnet.

informer365 · 28/06/2015 21:41

projectile poo'd on my wife's face!

pfcpompeysarah · 28/06/2015 21:29

I can remember giving my son his bottle as a baby and him dreamily falling asleep as he was finishing it, then all of a sudden he let rip with this really loud fart and the entire back of his sleepsuit turned a nasty shade of brown... I literally didn't know where to start cleaning him, getting it up and taking it off over his head just made it worse, nobody told me about the sides you could roll down!!

dannydyerismydad · 28/06/2015 21:26

I've just remembered the perfectly round boulder of poo I found on top of the Brio bridge.

To this day I have no clue if DS squatted over the tracks or retrieved the deposit from the potty.

freefan · 28/06/2015 21:21

Hasgot to be the day my three year old tried to wash their hair in the toilet - boak ! luckily it ws clean but still!

kimbers85 · 28/06/2015 21:13

my son used to eat his own toenails x it would keep him busy for hours if he was allowed to get away with it x

lori123 · 28/06/2015 21:10

My son did a poo then took his nappy off, stepped in it then walked it all around my bedroom :(

elQuintoConyo · 28/06/2015 20:59

Gatorade that is priceless Grin

DS had a bum obsession when he was being toilet trained. In amongst the mantra "fingers aren't for bums, fingers aren't for bums" I found myself saying "baked beans aren't for bums" as he stuck a spoonful up there. While at the dinner table. He was 2.7.

We have NEVER had a poo incident as pp, painting walls with it etc. I count myself very lucky.

Maclairey · 28/06/2015 20:58

My 2 year old was in the bath the other night and I was sat on the floor feeding the baby. I noticed that my son kept drinking that bath water and I told him not to do it but he wouldn't stop. Anyway I got up to get him washed and noticed he had done a poo in the bath. There bits floating in the bath where it has broken up. I won't lie, I feel like I failed as a parent!

lilbooboo · 28/06/2015 20:57

when he was about 2 my lil boy touched his bare bumhole with his finger then of course...said finger travelled straight up towards his mouth...managed to stop him just in the nick of time...

nocutsnobuttsnococonuts · 28/06/2015 20:57

dd about 18 months took her nappy off and smeared poo all down the stairs and then rolled around our bed. it was disgusting!

then most recently at 6 I caught her sticking her fingers in her bum and sniffing them.

cozza777 · 28/06/2015 20:57

My little boy was using my Cath Kidston flannel to wipe the toilet seat before he had a pooh!!! I caught him doing it one day so have not got a clue how long this had to been going on for. ewwwww

Eatsleepwork · 28/06/2015 20:35

Dd took the game pooh sticks too literally once. Throwing stones and sticks off a bridge into the river when she turns round with a big squidgy dog poo in her hand and tried to chuck it in, only it was really gunky and stuck between her fingers [shudder]

layla1979 · 28/06/2015 20:31

Her first poo was the most disgusting thing ever, I had to get the nurse to change it as I thought something was wrong with her, it was that bad. The Nurse said it was normal though

MrsSchadenfreude · 28/06/2015 20:31

DD2, aged about three, when I went to kiss her goodnight, said to me "Can I stroke your face, Mummy? I'd like to stroke your face."

Oh how sweet, I thought, and said "Of course you can stroke Mummy's face, darling."

A couple of strokes later, I noticed that DD2's fingers stank to high heaven, so I asked her what she had been doing with them.

"I put them up my bottom," she said, cackling evilly.

She's now 14, and still known as "Bottomfingers."

Lurleene · 28/06/2015 20:24

I remember wallowing in a lovely hot bubble bath one evening when my DD toddled in and sat down on her potty. She chatted away doing a number two which somewhat spoiled the ambience of my bath.

When she finished she picked up the potty and looked at me. I said 'don't you dare!'. She said 'I dare!' and emptied the contents of the potty into my bath.

I didn't stay in for much longer ....

Started to eat a dead wasp that was on the conservatory floor, luckily I intervened and fished it out his mouth before chewing took place

hiddenmichelle · 28/06/2015 20:05

My toddler picked up a dry small pellet of poo that had fallen from her nappy and ate it!!!!!!!!!!!

shivbrown · 28/06/2015 19:55

We have a Pug dog that licks everything and now our 11 month old licks the bin! Take him to soft play and instead of socialising with other babies he wants to socialises with the bin!

GatoradeMeBitch · 28/06/2015 19:41

If DS gets to hear about this he'll kill me, but I once caught him with his bum in the rabbit hutch attempting to bond with them by pooping with their poop....

dodge1988 · 28/06/2015 19:39

when my youngest was around 18 months he used to take his nappy off and run free as we used to say his older sister come in from the garden one afternoon to tell us he had striped off and was sat in the garden eating maltesers as you can imaging our horror as we hadnt giving him chocolate and it was from his nappy

Marg2k8 · 28/06/2015 19:35

I cannot think of anything really disgusting. Probably the worst thing was being sick in Pizza Hut.
