    Yeah I would think the same thing Mrs P, not much you can do other than the usual, Gastro routine and make sure she recovers in a day or so or go to the Dr. Unpleasent learning curve for her though! My DD did this at 6months too (not nappy off just poo in mouth) however thankfully didnt get sick.

    Generally it's not your own fecal flora that makes you sick it's other people's/animals.

    True but perhaps her immune system was just a bit down and something was opportunistic? There is a heap of nastier type bacteria in poo especially once they are on solids that can knock you around a bit if you ingest it.
