Baby ate a paper- feel like a shit mom

My baby crawls everywhere now. Was speaking on the phone for like a minute and she found a bill under the furniture, tore it into pieces and ate one or two pieces. I feel like a shit mom. My baby ate ink and paper

Same. My babes has done that multiple times. He has also slept with a small piece of cardboard in his mouth all night and I saw it when he smiled at me when I picked him up outta his crib. We’re all figuring it out. Our babies are tougher than we think. 🫶

Yea my baby ate the corner piece off of a book about a month ago he had it in the car and I didn't think he could actually eat it or that it would come apart 🤦‍♀️

My girl ate a paper label off a water bottle when she was only 4m old.... i felt very upset and worried as she had never eaten solids yet

Mine has eaten tags off things in the store, several board books including in front of the pediatrician, and many post it notes while I was in the bathroom. They must be pretty tasty😅

It doesnt bother me as much now but its the items i worry she might choke on. Today she found some stuffing(i think from a dog toy) on the floor and she put it in her mouth..i didnt even see her holding it. Just saw the hand at the mouth and let me tell you it was the hardest thing i ever fished out of her mouth so far 😅 She really had it tucked in her cheek and she kept fighting my hand away.. i eventually got it out..

She will be fine! My baby breaks into the bookshelf and eats her books, so 🙃🤣
No worries!

…she also crawls into the bunny room and tries to eat their cardboard, poop and plays in their water bowl 😭😭😭

I bought a new toy piano for my baby, I left the tag on. She was playing with it in her crib then I noticed that she was chewing on something. Me and my hubby ran to take the carton tag out of her mouth. Babies are too quick.

Half of our books have bites taken out of them 😒

My baby puts anything and everything in her mouth if I even blink too long.
