Baby ate book...maybe

I bought my 9.5 month old a new book today, the kind with the thick, stiff pages. It says for '0+ months' so I figured it was fine. Well, I was on the phone while he was playing with the book, chewing on the thing like he does with all his other books. He pulled it away from his face and I realized the thing is dripping wet and pieces of the edge are coming off. It almost looked like soggy toilet paper. :/ I took it away and checked his mouth. Couldn't see anything but I have no idea if he swallowed anything. D: A piece came off but it's too wet to really know if it's all there or not.

I'm more asking for reassurance because I know he'll probably be fine, but should I worry or call his doctor? My mom just laughed and said he'll eat worse so I assume I'm just a paranoid first time mom. >.>;

My 10 month old just ate a leaf.

Both my kids eat paper and cardboard. I just see it as extra fiber 

he will be fine lol. Thats how ALL of my sons book look.

My son ate like three of his books.   He ate half-chewed dog food this morning.

  It'll be OK!

My son is a notorious board book eater. I can't leave him alone with books at all. He takes big chunks out of them. sometiems he swallows them and sometimes he just sticks out his tounge and shows me. I'm sure he will be okay :-)

I noticed everyone is posting about their son's doing it. Is it just a boy thing? LOL

Thanks, you guys. I was all worried even though the rational part of me was telling myself to calm down. lol I think that book is going aqay for a bit.  

He will be fine. (my son has eaten a piece of a board book too)

My daughter doesn't eat gross stuff.

He's rather eat dog food than his veggies.

My oldest tried the cat food. Once. That was all he needed to realize it tasted yucky haha! He doesn't eat paper so much anymore but my 6 month old will when my toddler leaves it on the floor   Oh well just how parenting goes!

I don't see paper as gross, just don't see it as appetizing either!

My son would love to eat tons and tons of cat food. Of course I don't let this happen but every time he gets close to it. He can't wait to shove it in his mouth.

LOL  

My girls ate their board books. Dd2 likes to find crumbs in the trash if we don't put it up. Dd1 outgrew the eating gross things stage but dd2 likes anything she can get her hands on- dog food, cat food, grass, rocks, she's tried to nibble on the cat n dogs' tails before. Pennies, batteries, baby gates, table corners, crayons, pencils, Chapstick, etc. I think ur son will be fine. Maybe only let him have the book when u can sit w him w it to keep an eye on him. Maybe try teaching him that books aren't food lol

Last night I changed my sons nappy after dinner, he had been at daycare (and this was his 2nd change since)
That BM had more sand than the beach!
