    My one year old son goes around eating everything he finds on the floor or anywhere, and I mean everything! My partner is convinced he has worms! Is this just a normal baby thing??

    Definitely not worms - just a normal baby thing! If it wasn't food they'd just try to put whatever they find in their mouth;);) My 2 year old boy still does it!

    We tell him its dirty and he knows it is too but boys will be boys... Cant see any cause for worry though a bit of stale food normally gets spat back out once they realise it tastes awful:P:P:P

    I found at that age they just love to explore with food and now that they know what food really is they will try anything once:D

    Haha. Normal baby thing. They all do it. You need eyes in the back of your head to make sure they are not poisoning themselves. Found my girl trying to eat a snail today.... Ew.

    Oh no, a snail... thats nasty.... Snails and Slugs, gross!

    my lil man likes to pick up slugs, so I taught him how to kill them instead with a bit of salt, bad for the animals! bad for my lil dude if he actually did bite one :(
