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.

Oh the soles of shoes! Forgot about that one.
My DS cleaned his entire pair of crocs clean yesterday by licking them...

cat poo here too last week

Sheep poo...she didnt seem to mind it but I was frantically brushing her teeth!!

Mine won't stop with the stones and soil eating. She also has a penchant for crayons, and almost anything she finds in the garden, actually. Spend ages removing toadstools from grass before letting her play on it.

dog shit,stones,mini lego hair.
I found blue metallic pellets of shit in her nappy a while ago and thought she maybe had kidney stones but it seems that she'd eaten some of the fish tank gravel from the bottom of my dads fish tank-how she actually got the rancid,dirty,coated in fish shit stones out is anyones guess but she did...

when dd was about 9 months and just crawling, I found her sitting in a corner of our bedroom, clenched fist on its way to her mouth.
prised it open to see what she was about to eat, and a massive, rather relieved looking, hairy spider scuttled off and vanished under the skirting board.
would have given her some protein, I suppose.

the usual slugs, stones, mud etc
but the scariest thing was tinfoil. couldnt work out what the hell it was in the nappy for a while - it came out very shiny still but shredded....

Leaves, dirt, crayons, lipstick.

Licks EVERYTHING.

The sand was quite nasty when it emerged the other end... For both of us!

DS tried to feed ME a sheep poo while we were having a picnic. Luckily I had a lightning reaction when I saw a little arm trying to shove something in my mouth

He's also managed to eat an entire plum complete with stone, by the time I noticed it was already gone, though I had a few anxious minutes wondering whether he'd suddenly start choking...

I found a semi-conscious fly in my 9mo DD's hand and she screamed when I removed it. Didn't know if she planned to befriend it or eat it.

Ds drank contact lense solution from the case after I had put them in.

Dd, nothing that I can recall. I must have been much more alert with her.

The worse other than rabbit poo, was my ds2 aged 10 months managing to eat part of a fairy non bio liquitab I still cannot be near the smell of the stuff, remembering those fairy stinking bubbly vomits

car screen wash

This thread is soo funny, I'm in tears here.

DS (10mths)is very active and into everything. He loves to grate his new teeth over anything he can fit into his mouth so:

Candles
Soles of his shoes
My crocs
The pram wheels
Random bits of fluff/grot he's picked up from the floor
Rubber bouncing ball
Garlic cloves, in fact he was carrying them around in his mouth.
Mouldering wall paper from a damp corner of the house.
Sand
Pebbles
Bath sponge
Paper, bloody paper it drives me potty. Any paper will do but he has a preference for the poisonous ink of a newspaper.

Dog poo
Dog vomit

DS1 put stuff in his mouth for bloody ages. We lived in a council block when he was little. There is nothing quite so filthy as a north london council flat lift floor. I had to keep my hand over his mouth and virtually tie his hands together to prevent him putting vile crap in his gob.

Ewww eww and double ewww.

the toilet brush, business end.
An entire stick from the garden.

he isnt even 1 yet..

my dd never ate anything dubious.

a slug- well half of it

boy was she angry when I managed to remove it

an ariel liqui tab. that one required hospital treatment!

dh said the loo brush would give him dysentry nearly rang nhs direct.. but he was fine. it's a family legend already.

Seroxat. Surprisingly the man at A&E didn't think it was a problem.

Cramit, my dd sucked the toilet brush too.

And I DID call NHS direct. The shame.

A snail

Half a live crab.
And I have the photo evidence to prove it.
I was with a friend on the beach with DD's and her DS and was randomly snapping pics on camera phone.
Put them on pc and discovered chain of events.
DD2 eats sand.
DD2 holds entire live crab with 'intersted' look on her face.
DD2 puts crab in mouth.
DD2 sits happily with 2 legged crab next to her trying to get away.
