And he went through a phase where he'd lick shopping cart handles, ewwww. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-things-have-your-kids-eaten#post-2637265 Sat, 15 Oct 2016 12:42:10 +0000 petitenoisette 2637265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have those cast iron railings on our front steps and our LO for some reason likes to lick them. Idk if she needs more iron in her diet or what! :silly: </p> <p>These poop stories are making me realize we dodged a bullet when I caught her mushing dog poop in her hand that she'd found in the front hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-things-have-your-kids-eaten#post-2637174 Fri, 14 Oct 2016 22:29:46 +0000 Coffee-lover 2637174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 10 month old got ahold of a cat poo nug that somehow hitchiked out of the box into the living room. We had to pry it out of her mouth because she did not want to give it up 😳 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-things-have-your-kids-eaten#post-2636815 Fri, 14 Oct 2016 10:04:50 +0000 maddyz 2636815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What has the kid not eaten... Old gum he found under the seat in the airport waiting area, some guys coffee he snatched off a park bench, a cigarette butt, and yesterday he put a wipe he found behind the trash can at the park in his mouth after "wiping his nose" with it, it was dirty with something... I decided I didn't want to know what and just threw it out. I am sure there it more... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-things-have-your-kids-eaten#post-2636593 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 21:58:53 +0000 AnnabelleG 2636593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When my son was 9-months old, we were at the park sitting in the grass. I looked down at him chewing on something, which I assumed was grass. Nope. Cigarette butt.</p> <p>My sister's friend's 2-year old ate gum she found on the airport floor. And another friend's kid found and ate a mystery pill! Scary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-things-have-your-kids-eaten#post-2636167 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 11:16:42 +0000 alphagam84 2636167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She ate a piece of dog food </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-things-have-your-kids-eaten#post-2636162 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 11:14:52 +0000 MrsADS 2636162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 13 month old ate a piece of lizard poop from our back patio (we live in South FL, lots of lizards). I managed to fish most of it out of his mouth but uggghhh. Sooooo gross. He's also eaten a number of bugs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-things-have-your-kids-eaten#post-2636138 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 10:39:59 +0000 snowjewelz 2636138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far just DD dropping a piece of cheese from pizza on the public ground, picked it up and put it back into her mouth before any of us could stop her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-things-have-your-kids-eaten#post-2636055 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 08:53:53 +0000 josina 2636055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: I know, soooo bad!

It is so gross and I stop her when I see her, but she manages to find a way to do it somehow because I never have to trim the nails on one foot (apparently the right foot tastes better than the left because she leaves those toes alone). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-things-have-your-kids-eaten#post-2636029 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 08:16:39 +0000 josina 2636029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some of these make me feel not so bad that I'll actually admit it. :silly: (although I'm totally blaming DH for this one).<br /> DH was watching DS on the porch while talking to a friend, and brought him inside b/c he had something in his mouth (he thought it was a rock). Turns out it was the GUTS of a dead mouse (our cat likes to show off her skills and bring them to the porch). Soooo gross. It was hard so basically 'dried' which is a little better than if it had been fresh, I think. </p> <p>My cousin said her little guy had gotten toilet paper out of the toilet (young girls in the house that don't always flush) and into his mouth before she could stop him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-things-have-your-kids-eaten#post-2636001 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 07:19:51 +0000 FaithFertility 2636001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cheerios from under the fridge......lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-things-have-your-kids-eaten#post-2635970 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 05:39:45 +0000 MrsBrewer 2635970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dog food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-things-have-your-kids-eaten#post-2635967 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 05:08:48 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2635967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cat food kibble. I scooped it out and she cried so much. Won't eat something regular and delicious-freaks out when you take away something gross. She has also eaten a handful of dirt and sand. Sand grosses me out. She eats toys dipped in sand too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-things-have-your-kids-eaten#post-2635951 Wed, 12 Oct 2016 22:56:26 +0000 DesertDreams88 2635951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow lots of cat food and poop stories here!!!

I gagged so hard scraping it out of Evan's mouth. I still can't figure out how he got to it. Grace hasn't eaten anything bad yet, but she's pretty desperately beelines for the cat food whenever she's in the kitchen. She'll put anything in her mouth, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-things-have-your-kids-eaten#post-2635945 Wed, 12 Oct 2016 22:30:32 +0000 yoursilverlining 2635945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When lo was around 10 months I caught her fist-deep into the bag of cat treats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-things-have-your-kids-eaten#post-2635941 Wed, 12 Oct 2016 22:21:20 +0000 Dahlia 2635941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not my kid, but today at the park one of the other moms caught her kid picking up a dead squirrel and about to put it in his mouth!!!

And the amount of my hair and carpet fuzz they have both eaten is disgusting. My 3 year old tried to eat... something... out of the basket of the stroller but I caught her in time. Literally no idea what it was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-things-have-your-kids-eaten#post-2635881 Wed, 12 Oct 2016 19:54:23 +0000 erinbaderin 2635881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My worst parenting moment was when I realized my 8 month old baby had cat food breath. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-things-have-your-kids-eaten#post-2635878 Wed, 12 Oct 2016 19:50:25 +0000 autumnleaves 2635878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Day old cottage cheese from the kitchen floor. I thought I cleaned it all up but I missed a curdle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gross-things-have-your-kids-eaten#post-2635876 Wed, 12 Oct 2016 19:43:01 +0000 avivoca 2635876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She ate crumbs off the living room floor. No idea how long they were there and it's possible that they were cat food crumbs. And this is just me, but girlfriend can put away pickles like nobody's business which grosses me out as a pickle hater. </p>
