Help. DD has eaten a load of mud

[babyOcho]

Do I need to do anything?

She is 13 months and had a good mouthful when my back was turned. I've given her some water.

No

will probably help protect her from Asthma!

She may get a slight tummy upset as there can be nasty bugs in soil - but more often than not it will be fine.

DS ate a cat shit when he was little. Didn't even have a dose of the runs. (I of course was running round ringing GPs and A&E)
He's a great hulking 14 year old now really annoying me by insisting on playing his Wii in here at this particular moment.

Oh god, both mine love a bit of mud now and again. No ill effects noted!

DD licked a slug the other day

Thanks. Mud doesnt taste too good, so hopefully she wont do it again. I kind of recall eating mud and worms myself when a child

At least it wasn't cat poo like springlamb's DS!

I used to love eating dirt and crunching on coal - my uncle was a coal man, blimey showing my age here You'll find she'll develop the constitution of an Ox

DS2 (9months) has been eating a handful of mud whenever my back is turned in the garden. Obviously tastes better than my cooking...

Also, he's taken to chewing on chunks of concrete.

she'll be fine. Mine were practically weaned on mud, slugs, snails and worms.

I used to eat worm casts when small. I remember them being quite tasty...

I also ate a cat poo 'like a mars bar' when small (under the charge of my Dad). My Dad was a bacteriologist and having explained himself to my Mum he just kept an eye on me...and I was fine.

I also have a constitution of an ox, no allergies, asthma, etc...but I am a bit fat.
