And, FWIW, I probably would have done the same thing. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-mom-thing-do-you-do#post-637773 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 18:26:52 +0000 mrbee 637773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: Haha didn't know that was a mom thing! I eat food like that all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-mom-thing-do-you-do#post-637703 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 18:02:05 +0000 autumnlove 637703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO just barfed on me and into my only nude bra that fits. Just did a quick wipe down before our photo shoot! :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-mom-thing-do-you-do#post-637618 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 17:14:36 +0000 lovehoneybee 637618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: I do that with his diapers sometimes....we CD and if it's just a little bit of pee and not obviously damp I'll smell it. DH does too, though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-mom-thing-do-you-do#post-637617 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 17:14:17 +0000 JessiBee 637617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a new one for me this afternoon, although not on purpose. I was on the phone with my mom, DD in my lap, and I looked down and realized I had a little poop on my hand from her messy diaper change a little while ago. I observed this aloud to my mom, who cracked up. I continued sitting and talking, and didn't go wash it off until I was getting up anyway. (Rationalization: it's newborn poop! Not the same!) Really: ew. EW. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-mom-thing-do-you-do#post-637538 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 16:19:14 +0000 PrincessBaby 637538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I HATE to see boogers in H's nose! I totally pick them! And a few times I've even wiped them on my pj pants or something if I wasnt able to physically get my hands on anything else! Sometimes, I'm just trying to survive and things just go down the way they go down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-mom-thing-do-you-do#post-637468 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 15:52:10 +0000 Sweet T 637468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pick boogers and sniff DS's diaper. I think those are the only things though. The talk of eating already chewed food is making me queasy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-mom-thing-do-you-do#post-637452 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 15:45:40 +0000 LuLu Mom 637452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pick boogies (DH hates this), do the bum smell check, Lick my finger to get smudges gone, and most disgusting we had to put a kleenex in her diaper to make sure she was still peeing (checking for dehydration), I couldn't tell if it was wet or not so I sniffed it to see if it smelled like urine...I thought my DH was going to vomit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-mom-thing-do-you-do#post-637378 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 15:19:34 +0000 prettylizy 637378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So many things.... I pick her boogers, I'll dip my carrot in hummus, let her eat the hummus off it and then eat the carrot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-mom-thing-do-you-do#post-637271 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 14:50:20 +0000 Mrsbells 637271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do the smell check for diapers, I like my finger and wipe food of her face. I also pick her nose for her, Its the most effective way!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-mom-thing-do-you-do#post-637266 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 14:49:06 +0000 skibobrown 637266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pick her nose, and let her use me as a snot / drool rag all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-mom-thing-do-you-do#post-637250 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 14:46:09 +0000 banana 637250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All of it! None of that grosses me out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-mom-thing-do-you-do#post-637238 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 14:42:18 +0000 googly-eyes 637238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: I don't know if I'd do that, but LO hasn't started solids yet so I may surprise myself! I won't count myself out just yet..</p> <p>I booger pick, I earwax pick (if I can see it from just looking at her), and of course touch things w/ her spit up and poop all over it (how can a mom not?) and yesterday I did something I reeeeally hoped to avoid, took a rectal temperature! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-mom-thing-do-you-do#post-637236 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 14:41:43 +0000 MamaMoose 637236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: When I can tell my LO is about to spit I purposely catch it with my hand. Much easier than letting it get all over her/the floor and having to clean it up. It makes my husband gag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-mom-thing-do-you-do#post-637231 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 14:39:54 +0000 matador84 637231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>booger picker, butt smeller, earwax picker--i can't stand it when i can see it so i just yank it out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-mom-thing-do-you-do#post-637212 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 14:35:24 +0000 mrsjyw 637212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>all of the above. no food stuff yet since he's ebf, but i'm sure i will when the time comes.</p> <p>boogie picker, spitup wiper, poopy butt washer, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-mom-thing-do-you-do#post-637193 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 14:29:01 +0000 ladyfingers 637193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pick his boogers and I pick at flaky parts of his skin while he's nursing (just if it's loose and won't make him bleed). "Clip" his fingernails with my teeth. I know it's necessary but it grosses me out - cleaning the accumulated dry skin and whatever from the underside of his pee pee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-mom-thing-do-you-do#post-637048 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 13:39:36 +0000 tysonja 637048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>all of the above!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-mom-thing-do-you-do#post-636929 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 13:11:22 +0000 honeybear 636929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm guilty of eating the stuff LO spits out (as long as it isn't too well-chewed!). </p> <p>I am a reformed baby booger picker. A light pinch down the nose with a tissue gets them out really well! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-mom-thing-do-you-do#post-636883 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 12:55:56 +0000 littlek 636883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as everyone else with the boogies. And I will wipe spit up with my hand. DH freaks out and starts yelling "spit up! where's the burp cloth?" I just reach over and wipe off LO's face. Oh and LO totally drool and snot bombs me all the time, he will crawl over to me and then bury his head and my shirt. I can't get dressed for work until he's in his carseat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-mom-thing-do-you-do#post-636835 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 12:46:08 +0000 Mrs. Pen 636835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: Oh I do it whether its the grocery store or parking lot hahaha.

I inhale deeply to make sure it's poop, sometimes several whiffs. </p> <p>Before LO was good at eating meats, i would chew up her food and give it to her. My mom thought it was so gross! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-mom-thing-do-you-do#post-636710 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 12:21:13 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 636710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: omg my husband hates this. He's like...you just sucked dust and lint. Better me than LO I tell him!</p> <p>I do all of the above. ew...I used to be a clean and feminine person. No longer, I suppose.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-mom-thing-do-you-do#post-636677 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 12:12:34 +0000 photojane 636677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: The thought of eating chewed up food makes me gag. I love Sadie, but... I could never. haha</p> <p>I pick her boogies, and Dan always freaks out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-mom-thing-do-you-do#post-636676 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 12:12:04 +0000 mediagirl 636676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Hahaha (ew) hahaha!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-mom-thing-do-you-do#post-636669 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 12:09:45 +0000 littlebittyhouse 636669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another booger picker here.

It really seemed to help to have me pre-chew it for her. </p> <p>I would now like to reference you back to a pre-baby statement I made in April of last year.
