The penetrating power of an x-ray depends on its frequency. "Soft" x-rays, such as as used in most medical applications would find a good-zized bit of rubber opaque, so if Baby somehow swallows an eraser, it'll show up. "Hard" x-rays, like those used to examine steel girders, wouldn't even see rubber as a faint shadow.
The amount of material x-rayed also makes a difference. Lead is famously dense, but a thin sheet of lead foil would be more transparent than a thick slice of modelling clay.

Because X-Rays do not penetrate the earth's surface. The Chandra X-Ray Observatory would be completely useless on the ground because it detects X-Rays. Therefore, it must be in space to detect the rays.
