So what have yours eaten?

Victor

Once, left "alone" to mind my sisters 4 girls for the weekend, the 1 year old emerged from the living room with what looked like blue ink coming out of her mouth. Put my heart cross ways. It turned out to be chalk. I tried to wash out her mouth, but she kept drinking the water. :eek: Just as well these thingsd are non-toxic.

I'm always amazed by what they'll put in their mouths over and over again! My youngest seems to have a policy of if it's within reach it's fair game! She's recently discovered that dog biscuits though good for teething are not so tasty:o Onions are not nice! And tipping her bottle out onto the floor and licking it up can be a hairy experience!!! lol

I remember (about 20 years ago) my youngest sister (21 months old approx) ate my new pink lipstick and it appeared in streaks in her nappy over the next day or two.

OMG I am becoming stresses just reading these posts! Well I will try and be prepared for what's to come...

Tin foil. He bloody loves chewing tin foil. Good job he has no fillings yet:p . We had to stop using it because like all 1 year olds, if it is not in reach he will find it. I found him going through the bin once looking for some.

Debracd

Ahh what they put in their mouths is nothing.. anyone had the experience of Lego up the nose yet???? My son did that when he was 3!!! Took ages to get it out:mad:

My little brother had a serious love affair with coal........ and yes he is still wierd!!

Victor

Hmmm. We were having dinner with #5 (the brother's first, age 1.5) at Christmas, lasagne and some salad. All she wanted to eat was the pure coleslaw.

Well, I put a ball of tinfoil off a chocolate sweet up my nose. Just as well my mother's friend was an A&E nurse.

Debracd

In my experience the most difficult thing to get out of little noses is foam! So always be sure to keep the mattress protector on mattresses! God my kids will be carted off by social services if I keep posting what they've been up to

But I have 3 and they're all still in one piece!

Victor

A plastic tweezers might be useful in such circumstances.

Debracd

You'd think wouldn't ya? But with foam it just picks away at it :mad: Temple street is your only man in those cases!

Mine was eating a plum at about 16mnts next thing you knw the whole thing is gone and the MIL is on the phone a bit panicky - turned up in a nappy 3 days later. We'd gone through every nappy in those 3 days.

Nah - my siblings win.. hands down!

Sister - used to eat anything that crawled or moved in the back garden : worms, earwigs & spiders

Brother - shoved a marrowfat pea right up his nose in playschool. It sprouted!!!! Had to be removed under GA in Crumlin

Debracd

Ok who can top that?? lol

wexhun

My LO ate a daddy long legs!!!!

My two have never eaten anything bad as I recall (thankfully), however my son (2) seems to have a thing for toilet water lately. He usually takes the top off something in the bathroom and scoops up some water. I tell him that its dirty, disgusting! (make the faces etc). He thinks its funny
Had to start locking the bathroom doors. And yes I do give him regular drinks! :eek:

A friend of mine tells a story of how she found her toddler son in the garden with a satisfied look on his face, clutching half a slug...

Hmmm... talking to myself. What's that a sign of?

Anyhow, I told my friend that I'd mentioned her son's 'slug incident' here, and she informs me that he once told her that he didn't like snails because "they are too crunchy" :eek:

Apparently, her daughter once approached her making a sour face, said "Yucky!", and handed her the tail of the family goldfish.

My young fella did that - he was supposed to put it in the collection box at Mass. Whats worse was the hospital carpark was 1.20 and I only had a euro....

Poking through his output to make sure it passed through wasn't pleasant either...

Yes, but cooked in a bit of butter, garlic and herbs, they are GORGEOUS!

No you are not, we can't watch them 100% of the time we and they would go nuts.

Cheers Thaedydal. Big guilt complex, keep seeing her trying to hack it up. Disgusting. Tho she was smiling and trying to eat her socks two minutes later.:)

littlebug

""mmmm.. nice carrot mammy"

It was a chicken bone.... horror and disgust really kicked in when I realised we hadn't eaten chicken for 2 days... yep it had been fished out of the bin! Yuck.

I have also fished numerous coins, stones and even a safety pin (and the floor had just been swept) out of my little boys mouth... none have got any further than that (that I know of).

Hand the bad mother award over here KatieK!

There is the school of tought that we all at one stage played out in the garden and ate worms and sucked stones and chewed on sticks and with the advent of antibacterial everything we could be denying out children the ick and germs needed to advance thier immune system.
I am not saying that we should let them drink out of the toilet or that we should not take the bugs out of thier mouths or tell them not to eat things off the ground but they have to be allowed get thier hands dirty.

Pizza out of the bin is the most recent on DD's list of 'icky stuff I ate today'. I swear she was born without tastebuds because according to her it was 'nummynummy':rolleyes:

Ah, all you can do is laugh. We all did the same things when we were kids, and we made it through. Keeps the (parent's) heart racing though.

Dudess

Similar thread on AH at the mo. Some very funny stories - including my own, of eating goat poop.

Crystalised ginger, he kept going back for more and eating a lump, then going hhhhheeeaghh like it was hot!
I find ginger hot myself so he must have felt the burn too!
oh and yesterday he was sitting on my lap watching me eat sushi when I turned away for a second and he was holding his nose and the wasabi was gone.....
