What's the worst thing your baby has eaten?

[lagaanisace]

I ask because we were in the garden today when DD took a handful of soil, bird poo and all, and shoved it into her mouth before I could react.

Looking back, though, I remember DS2 eating dog biscuits at his granny's house.

A slug

DD loves a bit of mud. She waits and if she thinks we're not looking, she'll shove a load into her mouth.

Flies, spiders, a bee and cat biscuits. All in one morning.

No ill effects whatsoever.

You'd think the texture if not the taste would put them off these things!

Poo. No idea whose, or how he got it.

ergh.

Cat sick

All i can offer is sand - but at only 8 mths there is time!

Dried cat poo in the garden, retch!

Mud. ok, could deal with that.
Dead fly. yuck.
Seagull shit... that he scraped off the car with his fingernail. bleugh!

Any ill effects, folks? Coz, wow, if not, that's wonderfully reassuring!

dog poo

dog biscuits shouldn't make the list !!!!

Ds3 ate a slug - properly bit it and chewed it but thankfully not swallowed all night he walked around with a wet flannel in his mouth saying i taste shlug , hed dropped a dish of grapes outside earlier and thought he saw a juicy big one in the semi darkness it was a slug!!

No ill effects from cat poo, well not for DS (apart from crying with resentment when I prised it off him), cats get chased ever since !!

Well, they were out the dog's bowl!

Ooo lots. We've found more than one sequin in his nappy. And a Sylvanian Families croissant

A dead fly.

Oh and a 5p piece. We had no idea he'd eaten it till it turned up in his nappy. I (stupidly) rushed him to the GP who PHSL at us!

Dry cat food. Several times

a bit of liqui-tab clothes wash (hadn't realized that there was one left in the box)
a bit of balloon.
No ill effect, thank god!

A hairball and he screamed when I removed it from his mouth

Half a stick of white chalk - I turned round and saw ds foaming at the mouth and nearly passed out. He was 4 at the time and old enough to know better.

If I am honest once I had got over the shock my main feeling was frustration that he had done it - this is the child that only eats approx 10 different foodstuffs and won't try anything new so I couldn't believe that it had occurred to him to eat it. I was tempted to give him a sticker on his food chart for trying something new

Oh and there were no ill effects whatsoever.

Piece of soap.
Gravel. (Repeatedly).
A miniature Fat Controller
Leaves
A piece of day old pasta found on floor (I do clean. Honest).
Snot
The wheel off a matchbox car (many times)
A piece of chewing gum that had crusted hard onto the pavement, but was surprisingly soft and elastic once he'd picked the crusty bit off with his fingernail.
Oh my god. I must stop here. He's only 18mths. What a list!

Poo.

And chewing gum from under a motorway service station table.

Oh, and dd went through a licking stage and licked the door handle in a public lavatory among other things.

Sigh, where to start?!

Crayon
Chalk
Play doh
Paint
Sudocrem
Mud
Sand (just changed a sandy nappy, yum!)
Gravel
Grass
All the herbs in the garden
Daisys
A dandelion (but she didn't wet the bed)
Manky bits of food from under the high chair
My hair mixed with a bit of sausage from the floor (I missed a bit when I was sweeping )
Her own poo
Her sisters poo (before I had the chance to get to the potty)
Cat litter

and cat poo

Ta daaaaa!!!

Still going strong.

Mine are both lickers of things too. Including the soles of shoes.
