My 18 month old climbed up a chair to get to a lunchbox I was given as a gift for my new position. Apparently somewhere in the hidden pockets laid a gel silica pad that she opened and apparently ate a few beads before throwing it out of her mouth (as I called her name in the other room) I ran to her when I saw her spitting something up (anxiety) and I was mortified to find the packet open. The beads were in the floor and half still inside the packet. I know she didn’t eat a lot and threw it out of her mouth when she didn’t like the taste. BUT I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT THE WORST AND CALLED MY HUSBAND SCREAMING TO GET POSION CONTROL ON THE LINE. While he was doing that i was looking online for any moms who’ve had similar cases, and apparently there is a lot. Poison control told us that it’s minor and that they receive a lot of calls from parents about these packets, and to just give her water.
I am still mortified and will probably be up all night monitoring her breathing. Moral of the story. TRUST NOTHING. Always triple check everything that might have these packets.
@divinely_favored, @marilyn3please, I also contact the website and they said that she would just experience nausea if anything at all. Still very scary tho. I don’t understand why they add those darn things in everything now days
I think they prevent moisture. Ofcourse you would be scared. Hopefully its worked its way out of her system by now.
Not trying to minimize your situation but I ate them as a kid. I dont think they are as dangerous as the package says if its just a small amount.
this happened with my dog once, i caught him with it in his mouth but thankfully he didn’t swallow any and i freaked out so bad, can’t imagine the level of the freak out if it was my kid 😂
lynnie did this before too. she was fine, but I panicked too. lol
My anxiety won’t let me sleep! It’s been over a hour now, and I’m hesitant to put her to sleep 😥
They said symptoms would be just nausea. Which she hasn’t had. She finished her full bottle
Dad's FB Video!!
Did anyone see that video a dad posted on his daughters FB page? He saw a post she made where she bashed her parents and cursed them, called them lazy and told them they should pay her for stuff she did around the house... So he called her out on it and put the video on her page!! Sorry if I missed a post already about this already, but I just saw the video and IT WAS AWESOME!!! Hahahhaa!
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
My mom called me immature cause I didn’t send her a card on Mother’s Day I live in Houston and she lives in San Antonio but yet I could’ve sworn I didn’t receive anything either but I guess I’m immature and have a lot of growing up to do.

is it wrong to be frustrated that my daughter acts like she can't do certain things with out my help. she plays dumb a lot and I wish I could be like no girl show what you know. she acts like she can't trace or match shapes so shes ask for "mommy finger" to help her so I barely hold her hand and she magically can do it but if I dont hold her hand she just scribbles and acts like she doesnt know
the pic is how she traces when I'm "helping her" otherwise it'll just be scribbles all over the page
I caught my daughter eating them because I could hear her chewing them. I don't know if she swallowed any cause the package was everywhere but she 2 was also fine.
