What has your LO eaten that is not food?

Baby428 · December 2010

DD was sooooo close to eating this gross hairy dust ball. I think I startled DD because I yelled "EW, GROSS, NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" and grabbed it out of her hand. I know DD has eaten stuff off the floor like old Cheerios and what not but from what I know of no foreign objects!

Don't judge me, O ate a rock. We were at the park. It was small, pebble sized but he swallowed it even with my best attempts to sweep it out of his mouth. It came out 2 days later. Opps!

She's eaten a small piece of paper here and there before I've been able to stop her. For instance if she tears a page in a book and sticks a piece of the paper in her mouth or if she gets a hold of a tissue (a clean one) and tears it into pieces and sticks it in her mouth.

My DH just informed me that DS almost ate a battery today. They were playing in our office and I guess DS came across one while DH was balancing the check book.

I'm sure he ate a dust / cat hair ball before. He's really fast.

i once found him with a piece of wood in his mouth, when he was about 6 months old. he didn't even crawl yet and i have no idea where he got it from to this day. it looked like it had broken off of something!

Lol, DD has just about put a rock in her mouth before I stopped her on a couple of occassions.

I think he ate a piece of cat poop once. Our one cat gets little tiny dingle-berries sometimes that drop off around the house.

DD found a piece that had broken off of a whicker basket before and almost ate it...They are so quick!

Cat food, dust bunnies, paper.

Crayons, hairy dust balls (nearly) ... hopefully no bugs, but I can't guarantee that.

mattandbekah · December 2010

dog food (I got this out before he swallowed it), dirt(from a potted plant at a bridal shower while like..thirty women looked on...it was such an awesome mom moment), and a sticker. Hopefully thats it.

a bug. he found a dead bug under our couch (which was the first time he was ever under there. btw) and was munching on it with a gross look on his face. I freaked out and scooped it out and made him drink water.

Paper, crayons and play-doh.

sand! at the beach this summer and at the park. I freak out out every time and try to catch her but somehow some makes it in and she starts to cry because of my reaction!

Also she got into her water humidifier and licked some calcium deposit that built up. We just use water in her humidifier but I called poison control thinking it could be mold or something. They said it was just the water deposit (based on my description) and says she will be perfectly fine and she was!

Ok, I think the LO that ate the rock takes the cake! So glad he was ok!! You gotta wonder how that felt coming out the other end!! lol

Dog Hair! DD started picking individual pieces of it off the carpet and putting them in her mouth. She then discovered that they stick to the felt pads on the bottom of the dining room chairs and she can get a bunch of dog hair (and who knows what else) at once. Now she just crawls up to the dog and pulls out a handful or two.

Pieces of carpet - she figured out that our shag type carpet can be pulled apart in the doorway and she can get little yarn pieces from it. I am not sure she has actually swollowed any of it (and we put down a threshold to fix the problem now).

I have pulled part of a ladybug out of her mouth too (I am pretty sure that it was dead already and came up from the basement on the bottom of a shoe. I hope that she did not eat the rest of it and only put the part I fished out in her mouth. I am also pretty sure she ate an ant.

Leaves, grass and probably other things off the grass.

Yup - she puts EVERY.DAMN.THING in her mouth!

Beads off a bracelet she was playing it. I didn't realize she had broken it and was eating the beads off. The were almost the size of marbles and they came out in a very colorful poop a couple days later. I actually took pics of the poop in case I needed to show the Dr, LOL!
