She will eat anything—and I mean ANYTHING—off the ground, picked off a wall (or her nose), from the trash…you name it, she’s probably tried it. I told the pediatrician about it and we had her tested for anemia. No dice. She just likes to put random crap (sometimes literally) in her mouth.
Here’s a partial list of inappropriate items that proved far too delicious for her to resist…and these are just the ones from recent memory:
Rabbit poop
Dried worms
Bird poop
Kitty litter
Hairballs
Her crib
Whole coffee beans
Cat food
Toilet paper/paper towels/Kleenex
Dirt
Flip flops
Leaves/sticks

The crowning glory was the poisoned ant bait I found with teeth marks in it. (Before you judge, I thought it was out of reach. And I would have called poison control but she only chewed on the plastic outside and didn’t seem to be acting strangely.)
Ironically, she won’t come within five feet of a vegetable. Those are flung off her high chair tray faster than I can bat an eye. Maybe if I wrapped broccoli in a cat turd I’d have better luck.
So for now it’s a game of vigilance and a test of speed. You’d be surprised how fast a 35-week-pregnant lady can move when her baby’s about to stuff poop down her gizzard. Good times.
So funny....your not alone. When my son was little he started chewing on a tube of super glue, I caught him with it all in his mouth. I panicked when I saw all the glue running out of his mouth, thinking probubly toxic and maybe even surgery to get that stuff off. Since it was in his mouth it didn't harden and he spit it out. Thank God.
