Eww, My Son Just Ate Feces! - Infant Care (up to 18 months old) Message Board

While I was changing my five month old son's diaper, it was a "blow out" by the way, he reached down and stuck his finger in the poo. Before I had the chance to wipe off his finger he stuck it in his mouth. Should I worry about this? Probably not, right?

I wouldn't worry but thats really, really gross.

Wait until he's older and quietly takes off his diaper (while you think he's napping) and gives himself a facial, manicure and pedicure as well as adding a new designer touch to his crib, bedding and walls.

I wouldn't worry either.

Ahhh yes. Is this not one of the more gross hazings into parenthood? DH and I found our son doing this not once, but twice before he was potty-trained. Yuck.

...but I wouldn't worry. It's gross but probably will not damage him.

Gross, but very normal, unfortunately!!

At least you will have something to hold over him when he's a teenager
