    Oh DD is at it again. Such a quirky little thing she is.

    She like to chew on paper - mail, construction paper, newspaper, etc. She used to chew little pieces off and spit them out, but now she is swallowing it! :icon_eek:

    Should I be worried about this? I would think it breaks down during digestion, but maybe not?

    I have to keep everything paper-like away from her now, but it's a bummer because I have been putting their sticker craft projects in a little scrapbook for them to look at - which they really enjoy - but she's been pulling the pages out and gnawing on the corners.

    Sounds like you have a little chipmunk on your hands! I have no advice. :laughing: , but I'm sure it will come out the other end.

    I don't have any advice either. My cousin used to eat burnt matches when he was younger. They said it was b/c his body lacked something (can't remember now what it was) and he was getting it there. Maybe that has something to do with it.

    Just be thankful she doesn't eat the toilet paper. :lol:
