My boy will eat anything....

OK, So ever since my adorable little guy could roll over onto his belly and

when he start crawling, he had this fascination of eating anything and everything that came into his sight. Even the smallest spec of dirt. If he spotted it,

it was his!! Myself and my hubby hoover the rug and our floors on a

daily basis but you cant help that dirt ends back up on them :(

But he eats, literally everything. Mind you, he is not a big eater of his

actual food. If I gave him a bowl of mud and a bowl of proper food,

he would happily choose the dirt.

The other day I put him down and as soon I did he flew into the bathroom. I

have the bathroom baby proofed so I knew he couldn't stick his head

into the toilet or get into any presses or fall into the bath, so I didn't follow him straight in.

As I had just fed him I was just going to put the dish into the sink and clean off

the high chair tray. It literally took me all of 30 seconds. He usually just goes in and plays with his bath toys that have been left on the floor or something, but as I walked in he had

a big chunk of toilet paper in his mouth. He was chewing on it like a little puppy. He has started to chew on his cot rails (you can see teeth marks) he tries to eat the grass if we have him outside and he would chew on stones, etc. It is starting to frighten me too. What if he chokes. My eyes are on him at all times but it only takes a split second for something

to happen.

Anyway, I am just wondering if anyone else experiences this with

their baby? I know babies do eat anything but I didn't think it happened

this much. I thought he would have out grown it by now and that it

was only something they did when they started to crawl or when teething. I guess not. I really hope he gives up on it when he starts to walk.
