What's the worst thing your young child ate?

[HeadsShouldersKneesAndMyGreatAuntsWalkingStick]

Is it as bad as mine?

Mouse liver (albeit spat out)

She didn't eat it but I caught my daughter and her friend doing mouth to mouth resuscitation to a slug 🤮🤮🤮(cheers teacher for teaching them this lifesaving skill but maybe you could have explained it's not to be practised on anything slimy 🤣)

I couldn't possibly tell you the most disgusting thing he's ate ( it's forever in my mind) but he's ate one of them gel loo discs when he was younger it pulled it of the loo and I thought oh his breath smells funny and he'd spat it out ( thank god).he's older now but at school they have to watch him because he tries to eat glue sticks and play do etc .

Her own turd, cut into slices and served up on the plastic tea party plates.

Luminous yellow snail

DD is now a perfectly healthy 18 year old but had an ‘interesting’ appetite when she was younger!

Dog biscuits (Bonios were a favourite)
Licked Dove stick deodorant if left alone with it in sight, she loved the taste🤦‍♀️
Found her sharing her ice cream with the cat one day
Talc was another favourite
A Quality Street sweet including wrapper

Ok I will post the most disgusting thing he's ate (boak) he was once in the back garden jumping on the trampoline my then fella said what's he eating I went out and he had (I'm so sorry if your eating) dog poo he'd rubbed it all over his face and in his teeth me and my fella was actually gipping had to bath him twice and scrub his teeth it's making me feel sick just thinking about it...

A slug
A snail
A worm

Three DC! I don’t know which is the worst?

Not the same, but my mum took a mouthful of bath bomb a couple of years ago. We were in M&S and a lady was handing out small crumbles of it to see fizzing in the basin of water next to her. My mum has no sense of taste or smell, so just popped it straight in her gob. Said she felt a bit 'funny' afterwards but didn't taste a thing!

DS ate picked off old chewing gum (from anywhere) also used to lick handrails- anywhere. Perfectly fine. Can’t cope with school germs though, they hit hard 😐

A live snail from the garden...

My youngest DS had a thing for cat biscuits and said they were good. Vile

When my daughter was a toddler I found her biting on my cream deodorant, I had to fish the chewed slivers out with my finger.
Another time in the car I unwisely gave her a plastic pot of black peppercorns from the shopping to use as a rattle, she managed to get it open and start eating them.

DS1 may have eaten a staple (as an older baby, he enjoyed noshing on the odd newspaper and I convinced myself he'd eaten a staple from the centre of the Guardian weekend colour supplement. Being a bit PFB I rushed him to the local child A&E and got a lot of fisheye from the medical staff, who split into two clear camps - those who thought I was massively overreacting, and those who thought I was a massively negligent mother). That aside, he's a model son, albeit a fairly picky eater as a teenager. 😃

DS2 is a different kettle of fish altogether (though he wouldn't eat a fish, his own food pickiness is on another level - profoundly autistic). I think the worst thing he regularly ingests TO MY KNOWLEDGE are half chewed or sucked sweets, which he scoops off the pavement like lightning before I can react. He's 12. I have occasionally caught him holding a dead vole (cat) in the garden and eyeing it speculatively - if he were considering eating it, I'd actually be somewhat encouraged, as he's virtually a vegan through his sensory food issues and I'd love it if he ate a bit of meat. 😂 I know he's eaten rabbit poo, I suspect he's tried worms.
