    Does your little one eat paper??

    I am constantly finding paper in DD's mouth! I dont know where she finds it!!

    She must have some sort of "paper radar" going on!!!

    Does your child do this??

    I suppose it is better than the dog biscuit I found in her mouth the other day!
    I think this child is going tt have quite a good immune system!!

    Alibaby,
    My Dad finds it funny to eat the cupcake paper, he used to say it saves on toilet paper... the grandchildren are now experiencing the humour of my Dad

    So to answer your question, does your little one do this??? No, the big one does

    Oh yeah, my baby has that paper radar thing. Tissues seems to be the worse. Carpet fluff is constantly being pulled out too. She will put anything in her mouth, ick!

    OMG yes, it is bloody annoying cause she chomps straight down hard on my fingers when I try and get it out... Last week I was at the deli and I gave her the ticket number tag to amuse her while I ordered what I wanted, looked down and she had eaten half the ticket and kept munching away like it was a biscuit..
    Thongs here too, so gross.

    DD eats paper like there is no tomorrow. I give her food and she throws that to find bits of paper she has stashed around the house. She loves eating paper, tissues, shoes and socks

    Oh yes. DS gets into it all the time. There's a bite out of the corner of DF's motorbike magazine... he tried to eat the book I've been reading this morning - thank god it was my book and not the public libraries lol.
    Shoes are a favourite... and bits of plastic that I never knew were lying around... somehow he finds them!
