Which newsprint is safe for baby to eat?

What do people do when their baby is obsessed with stuffing newspaper
into her mouth? I have these crackly books that she also loves, but
they don't crumple like newspaper, so the fun is limited!

My baby was a huge paper eater. I had to relocate my magazine basket to
higher ground for about a year. We just did our best to keep the papers
out of her reach. Like your baby, mine wasn't distracted by crinkly
books -- she wanted the real thing!

NOT funny if you're a parent of a child that eats dirt, sand AND flies...
lol
DD eats handfuls of sand at the park, dirt from the plants at home (which
we've tried to put out of her reach, but 6' tall something-rather plants in
huge pots doesn't work to 'put up') and the flies? Yea, she found a dead
fly a month or two ago, and of course, she was playing ever so quietly on
the floor under her high chair - she was about 10-11ish months old at the
time... I turned around to see why she was so quiet in the kitchen with me,
only to catch her JUST before she put a dead fly in her mouth.
Sand and dirt I can handle. Crumbs of food, sure. Even toys in mouthes is
perfectly fine for me. I MUST draw the line at certain dirth things - and
flies are one of them... I really don't dig anything that chills out in sh*t

Mine is obsessed with rocks... too dangerous for my liking! It's amazing how
fast he get one into his mouth. The good thing is that he'll spit it out on
command.

Xavier has taken to trying to stick things up his nose.. I see a trip to the
hospital to remove things before too long.

Last summer our chooks free-ranged in our back yard. So did DS2. I turned
around one day and found him *spitting out* a dry chook poo. Naturally the
bits left in his mouth were no longer dry, but mud! And we were having a new
toilet installed, so the water was disconnected and I couldn't wash his mouth
out!

No ill effects, of course, and I imagine he'll have a cast-iron digestion.
But it sounds that, charming as DS2 is, xkatx won't dig him....
