Yes. DD once got into my thyroid medication and chewed it up They said the worst she would have is an upset stomach but man, I learned a lesson.

Once, I found him in our shower drinking shampoo or conditioner- I can't remember. They said he'll just have diarrhea.

Not yet!

My work made me call after I was in an area that had been sprayed with a fire extinguisher while I was pregnant. It was all fine they overracted.

Yes, I used to have to call all the time in high school because my brother and his friends were idiots. Once two of them decided to split a 6 month supply bottle of Vitamin C (fine, your body will pee out what you don't need), once my brother ate a cigarette butt (fine as long as you don't eat the filter), and once his friend ate a bunch of dead flies (gross but fine). Also once because my mom decided to mix the hot tub chemicals together in the house to save time and created mustard gas (not fine, we had to evacuate for 24 hours).

yes, DS ate one of my birth control pills - they said he would be fine

Phew! So scary! I once called because I thought my daughter had eaten the soap. She probably ingested some but not a ton. Poison control said it was fine. Just watch for soft stools.

Not for LO yet but for my dog a few times!

Once our pediatrician told us the wrong dose of ibuprofen and we gave her a quadruple dose. I was furious! We didn't call poison control though after I googled it, but we did begin looking for a new doctor.

Yes after DD ate one of those "do not eat" silica gel packets. They said it was non toxic.

Whew, these are all good to know! We haven't had to call yet (touch wood), but almost did after my LO ate a handful of hydrangea. Hydrangea always comes up on the list of ten most poisonous common plants, but apparently you need to eat an awful lot to have any side effects.

I called after B ate a stick of deodorant. (he was fine)

We have twice. One because my husband let LO shake a bottle of Ibuprofen he thought was closed (back when she was an infant and loved to shake things to make noise), but the bottle wasn’t closed all the way and it opened and pills sprayed all over the place and neither of us could tell if LO ate any. Turns out she would have had to eat a ton for it to be an issue. Other time because my husband misread the Tylenol dosing instructions and gave her twice that amount he was suppose to. I told him it was fine (“just don’t do it again!) but he felt HORRIBLE and insisted on calling, and the nurse was awesome and really talked him off the ledge as it was totally fine.

Yes, DH was with her and she accidentally ingested some hand sanitizer. He woke me up a bit panicked.

Yes! 3 times.

Once when DS was 18 months old. He found my eye drops, opened the bottle and drank half of them. I was in the room and had taken my eye off him for a minute. They told me to watch his breathing and take him in it he seemed drowsy.

DD1 licked purrell once at 16 months and they said she would be fine. She also ate a Pop It on the 4th of July when she was 2. I was SO hysterical (I tried to stop her) and poison control said she might have an upset tummy but otherwise she would be fine.

Phew!

DD2 luckily hasn't swallowed anything she wasn't suppose to yet!

Scary! K ate some hand sanitizer once (I put some in his hand for him to rub but he ate it instead, he was 3 I think). I called our on call nurse who transferred us to poison control - they were very efficient and helpful! He wouldve had to have like 1/2 cup or something for it to be potentially harmful.

Hope your LO is doing ok!

My DS got into a bottle of Dulcolax (expired no less) and managed to eat part of one. If anyone remembers they look like bright red jelly beans. They said the worst that would happen is he would have some diarrhea but he was fine.

Once. DS was like 9 months and I let him munch on some graham crackers without realizing they were the kind with honey in them. The poison control lady was very nice about telling me I was completely overreacting.

Not for mine, yet. But for an old boss' kid- allllll the time. This is why my toddler doesn't run loose in the vet clinic. The best one was a can of activated charcoal, it was everywhere. He looked like a coal miner

One sleepy night, when she was 9 mo we meant to give DD gripe water but accidentally gave her baby ibuprofen. Double dose. I freaked, called poison control but they assured me double dosing is okay (or not dangerous if done once) and that she would just be extra not in pain. She was fine. I was the complete opposite of a super mom. A super bad mom? Ugh. I felt horrible. DH was searching for epicac just incase.
