Shes started this new fascination with sticking her finger up her nose. (I was teaching her where and what her nose was, and she figured out it has holes in it, and her fingers fit in perfectly...) If she sticks it up too far can she damage something in her nose? And when shes eating, and theres food on her fingers, can she get an infection or something?

lol. Yes, it's possible she could damage something or get sick from putting dirty fingers up her nose but all kids do it. The bigger concern is that she can transmit cold and flu germs right onto her mucus membranes but I wouldn't worry. I always tell my kids to try and use a tissue and if they have to pick, do it in private. If you tell her it's not allowed, she will just do it more and more and more. Just keep basic hygiene...make sure she washes her hands after a diaper change and before she eats and any time her hands look dirty.

Our 15-month-previous loves cucumber, bread, grapes and raisins - in actuality something she will %. up herself. the day until now in the present day i bought her a newborn-sized metallic cutlery set from Boots, she had large exciting spearing a number of those new soya beans from Birds Eye with the fork. She ate a lot. I made some pretty spiced mince with rice for myself the different day. i did no longer make it as pretty spiced as I generally might and gave her a element - she enjoyed it.

yup. careful, always attend to her. your child is prone to foreign body aspiration. not only would the thingy perforate and cause nosebleed it could be aspirated and block airway passage
