Help! DD just ate a dead moth

[mommabear26]

DD is 13 months and I'm pretty certain she just ate a dead moth. It was on the floor in a corner, I noticed it earlier, I was in the middle of something at the time and meant to get it after but completely forgot to pick it up (so stupid I know!) well DD was sitting in the corner munching on something and looking very pleased with herself and the dead moth has gone. I tried to get her to open her mouth but she swallowed, it was a big moth too! Should I panic? Should I call the doctor? I have no idea if I should be laughing or crying!

@ursuslemonade my dd also did this. It wasn’t just the shell...

She’ll be fine. My brother ate rabbit poo when he was a baby.

I'm sure she will be fine. I admit I might be more concerned about a slug or snail.

There is a true story about a teenage Australian lad who ate a slug at a BBQ for a dare, then became very unwell as a result of parasites he ingested in the slug.

Mine did too, because my dad called them nesquick...

Your responses have all given me a good giggle! I'm glad I'm not the only one who has a child with strange taste. I must say her reaction was more concerning, I think she enjoyed the crunch 😳 she's since decided to take more steps than she has done so far (only took first steps Monday) so I think the extra protein has given her a boost!
