To ask what's the worst thing your kids have eaten??

[BlueSpanishEyes]

Just caught ds 15mo attempting to eat a dead bug of some sort, wee minger that he is! Anybody elsr caught their toddler attempting to eat/eating something nasty?

Crayons, lipstick, foam Christmas decorations and a chip found on the floor of a pub that had only just opened for the day (so it was from the night before, if not before...).

He's very fast.

Sorry age 12 months

When my son was younger possibly about 3 I left him for a moment whilst he ate his boiled egg and soldiers, when I came back I couldn't find the shell, he'd eaten the lot!

The worst my 3 year old has ever eaten is food that's been dropped (indoors) but then I do that too!

I'm only realising just now that I'm in the minority.

Caught DD2 eating a dead fly when she was about 9 months old.
DS and his friend used to eat brick dust!

I made a thread about it a few weeks ago -- DD1 are some of her own poo!

My DD alerted me one day that my toddler DS was eating a piece of really burnt toast. Much confused as I hadn't made any toast that morning, burnt or not. Turned out it was a piece of rock hard bread that a bird had dropped down the chimney.

DS1 was a normal sand, grass, pebbles eater and licked everything in sight, a particular favourite the handle of the trolley in the supermarket.

DS2, ever determined not to be out done swallowed a lithium battery. First Dr at A&E x rayed, agreed it was there and to let him pass it.

Duly take him home to be confronted by black nappies caused by the caustic lithium hydroxide (that was made when the battery reacted with water) eating into his gut and causing bleeding. Rushed back and sent to HDU to wait to see if bleeding resolved or an operation needed. Was bloody terrifying.

Even though they were both little when this happened it must have awakened some sort of fear and they have returned to only licking stuff, especially windows, instead. Happy Days...

I ate sand apparently.

DNephew ate cat food!

His own poo . There was a whole phase that lasted a few months of him eating and playing with his poo when I was out of the room... I had to be on poo watch paranoid he'd done one but still missed it every so often or he'd do it in the morning before I woke up... Really gross. Excited to tell him about THAT adventure when he's older.

DD1 was terrible she would eat anything she ate one of those blue loo block things.

Worse thing was cat shit and at litter she fished out the tray. She was banned from playing with chalk at nursery as she ate it.

Dirt
Cardboard
Grass
Sand
She would regularly sit and chew books and eat them

These are all gross. Mind you, I have a friend who was teethed on Bonios. Nice and hard so ideal apparently. Thought it was quite common!

Muskey One of my other friends was coated from head to toe in Sudocrem by her big brother when she was a baby. They rang the poisons helpline and were told exactly the same thing, no known overdoses of sudocrem! -Did your dd have lovely lavender-y breath afterwards?!

when I was about 3 I picked up my dads full glass of wine and drank it all in seconds, was fine!

A mouthful of diesel
(Although she spat it all out)

snot

My 10 month old has eaten her brothers shit (he's 2.5) in a particularly horrific nappy incident. She also ate a corner of cardboard. We know because she crapped it out in tact. It still had the choking hazard sticker on in

DD2 (4) is a pain for eating things she shouldn't. The list includes;

Sand
Mud
Snails
Grass
Flowers
Paper and cardboard
Cat treats (dreamies)
Her toenails.

She has got better and has toned it down a little now thankfully.

DS ate my contraceptive pills. That was a fun phone call to NHS direct.

DD ate a sweet she found on the floor at a bus stop.

And last weekend we were in a beer garden and DS (6) came running to the table all hot and bothered and necked half a glass of orange juice. Only it was my vodka and orange - I didn't have a chance to stop him. No noticeable change in his behaviour subsequently!

I regularly have to fish bogeys out of my daughter's mouth.
She proudly announces 'Bogey in mouth!'

I brought my daughter a sticker book......she ate 1 of the stickers then attempted to go for seconds. She was around 16 months. I remember eating one of those flowers that you blow and the leaves fly off (don't know there name!) disgusting. I remember so I must've been old enough to know better

One of my oldest friends always tells people that the first time she met me I had half a worm in one hand and was eating the other half. Well, it was during freshers week.

Actually, not. I was 4.

Raw sausage, it was on side ready to be barbequed later and 2yr old DD was kept away from the BBQ but we didn't notice her take it until she'd eaten most of it. She loved it raw and wanted to carry on with the rest!

Ds3 ate ds1's poo. He was crawling at the time and was obsessed with poo. We managed to keep on top of the potty situation (I had reactions of a cat), but eventually, he managed to grab a handful an shove it in. He cried cried cried had to brush his teeth and wash his mouth out!

Ds1 and ds2 ate sheep nuts at a farm once. You bought little bags to feed the animals with. I asked the manager what was in them and whether they are poisonous to humans and she started going off on one about not letting the kids eat them. In the end we phoned my uncle who re-assured us the kids would be ok. they had lovely glossy hair though
