My baby swallowed some paper from his book

My 13 month old has just eaten a bit of a page of his pop up book. Should I be worried? 😩 it’s so annoying because he won’t eat food but he will eat anything else. I tried to see if I could get it out of his mouth but he had already swallowed it

My daughter loves chewing on her pop up book/cardboard/paper... theres a little chunk at the side of her book that is missing as a result. I don't think its anything to worry about though xx

My 14 month old put a slug in her mouth once, I managed to take it out before she chewed it it swallowed it. I took her to the doctors because I was so scared and the doctor told me how kids will put and eat anything they see it’s grab as it’s their way of experimenting but it’s nothing to worry about. She said if you’re concerned it’s good to have them checked for peace of mind but it’s pretty normal for them to try to eat things they’re not supposed to 😂

My boy has eaten a dead fly and a dead woodlouse, and very nearly eaten a slug. A bit of paper is the least of my worries 😂 they’ll be fine

Mine took a bite out of the nappy bag box and swallowed the cardboard - I left the room for 30 seconds to put the nappy in the bin 🙄 he’s eaten a few cat biscuits off the floor too!

Mines the same… I regret getting pop up books, he rips and tries to eat it.

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

5 month old activities

Hey everyone my baby is 5 months old and I want to reduce/cut screen time as I have read up on how bad it is what activities did people do to keep their baby entertained. Thank you in advance.

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

My friend is over from another country but I don't feel like leaving the house

One of my old friend's is visiting where I currently live and we agreed to meet up today but I feel so tired and exhausted from everything that's been going on with me. I feel if I meet her I'm going to end up having another breakdown from the exhaustion which I have been having often. I'm just thinking about how I need to rest to be able to deal with my toddler and go back to work on Monday without feeling like I need another weekend. I'm torn on what to do so I need you guys to help me decide
