My husband and I were given quite a fright over this last week! My 16 month old son discovered a small pile of screws on a bookshelf and decided they would make a tasty snack! Lucky for him, he only managed two before the other two were fished out of his mouth by a most unwilling finger... A run to the doctor and one x-ray later we see two screws. Two 3/4" wood screws. I cried and then I laughed and now 3 more x-rays later, they're gone! It definitely was NOT pleasant keeping an eye out for them though...

What are some of the strangest things you've found in your kids' stomachs?

My son swallowed a marble when he was 3yrs old. I was furious with him. He never put anything into his mouth as a baby or toddler, then here he was at 3 deciding to swallow a marble on purpose!
However, my daughter decided to use her diaper as a pocket. One time while I was changing her (she was about 20mnths old) I found a pair of AA batteries in her diaper that she put in there for safe keeping.

Mine haven't ingested anything more interesting than a coin or an earring. But they have shoved several things up their noses. lemon seeds, rice, legos, are just a few. *sigh boys aren't they fun.
