Struggling to keep 10month old alive

My 10 month old will eat everything!!! when will this period end??

i am shaken up from today as I put on her on the ground briefly today to attend to another child (I am a childminder) and she grabbed a pretty big rock, I saw it straight away but as she sees that I am going to take it off her she quickly puts it in her mouth and I did manage to take it off, but I was so worried if she had managed to inhale/ swallow it I don’t think I would have been able to dislocate it being so big.

we have ordered a playpen for her and it really can’t arrive quick enough. She’s a nightmare! The playroom is safe and i go through the toys every day to make sure there are no small bits. I think I need to get a travel cot for outside as well as a childminder I need to be able to put her down occasionally. I tried a blanket but she comes straight off of it. She used to be happy in her jumperoo but she’s getting bored of it.

my eldest have never been this bad, I am actually worried if I will manage to keep her alive.

anyone with tips on what sensory play or something I can give her to satisfy her need to put things in the mouth. And I also need some ideas on where to place her down in the garden to keep her from reaching anything dangerous.

No idea but that does sound dangerous!

Oh no, my 17 month old is a exactly the same. It's so stressful and tiresome I feel for you. The only thing that has worked for me a little bit and I emphasise a little bit is using a really stern loudish voice saying no. Even when she has something she can't fit in her mouth but she's not allowed. X
