I freaked out because of the size of it. It was a little shorter than a pin and a little thinner than a pencil, so she totally could have swallowed and choked on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dogs-the-outdoors-and-babies#post-596936 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 11:35:54 +0000 pelikila 596936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To me that is just part of life. Do your best and call it good. Heck, I've had to pull kibble out of my son's mouth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dogs-the-outdoors-and-babies#post-596929 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 11:33:28 +0000 Dandelion 596929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh, it's just a stick. I agree with @mrs. jacks...don't sweat it. Your baby will do all kinds of gross things and survive. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dogs-the-outdoors-and-babies#post-596906 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 11:29:20 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 596906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These are the things that make babies that live with dogs less likely to develop asthma and in general healthier than kids without dogs. I wouldn't sweat it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dogs-the-outdoors-and-babies#post-596898 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 11:27:20 +0000 mediagirl 596898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last night I was on my own for dog and baby duty. I carried M while I took our two dogs out on leash to do their business. We came back inside, I took my shoes off and prepared the dogs' meals. Meanwhile, I had put M down on the kitchen floor to explore.</p> <p>I looked over the counter at one point to see M put something in her mouth and start chewing. There is nothing on the floor she should be eating!! I shoved my finger in her mouth and pulled out a little piece of a stick. I'm guessing it came in either on my shoes or with one of the dogs. </p> <p>So, when you have babies and dogs and obviously the outdoors, how do you make sure your lo isn't finding things she shouldn't have and sticking them in her mouth? Obviously it was my fault that she found the stick piece and I feel horrible for it but how do we keep this from happening again? All I can think is what if I hadn't seen her put it in her mouth... :( </p>
