I am not the only person on this earth who has a toddler that eats everything that is poisonous/toxic/disgusting and just plain wrong! Some things she eats I know taste disgusting, but she will continue to eat them no matter what.
I just don't know what to do anymore and I am actually terrified she is going to poison herself. Obviously common sense pervails with putting things up high etc, but this kid just seems to have a mouth fettish! Am I the only one that lives under this daily stressful situation? ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

She eats EVERYTHING!
We have already had a trip to the doctors a few weeks ago for drinking dish washing liquid. We had mixed it up in a container and we were blowing bubbles, I turn around for literally one minute and she is drinking the mixture! She will eat soap, toothpaste, well pretty much anything that she can get her hands on 
It is driving me insane. ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

I was a toothpaste eater, thats not too bad. I am surprised she actually likes soap Short of locking everything away - which is a PITA. I hope she grows out of it for you sake. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Jett won't always eat the nicely made sandwich I make for him, but will HAPPILY eat the mouded bread which has been sitting on the lawn for a few days and gets soo upset when I take it off him!!!
He puts anything and everything in his mouth too, but I'll tell him it's eww and dirty and most of the time he'll spit it out. ------------- My babies: R (9),G (7), J (5) http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Kals will put everything in his mouth & eat it too
I live in fear- he's my kid who may eat pills or poison. He has taken chuncks out of the bar of soap, eaten snails, mouse treats, cat meat, toothpaste, moisterisers, crayons rubbers, bark the list could go on & on. The scariest was when he ate some weeds from the garden & started to vomit  ------------- Mummy of Two Boys B: 2004 K: 2007 |
