Common problem: Kids are forever putting things in their mouth like dirt,bugs.toys. unclean fingers, etc. It is so common that it becomes part of the day to day of most parents. I wouldn't spend much time worrying about it.The kid might get loos stools, but most don't for some reason. Just fuss at her a bit and let it go.

I am definitely under chronic stress from all the changes that are still going on, working from home with 2 small kids, etc. Could this be due to stress or should I be worried?
