Hoping your LO is okay. This is such a scary experience, and please don't feel guilty or at fault for what happened. Kids are curious, and situations like this happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-toddler-bit-thr#post-1260799 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 06:19:35 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1260799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Sometimes I have irrational fears when it comes to my LO, sadly this isn't one of those times. Eating sharp objects, especially glass tops my list of frightening things. Even if she gets through this in one piece, I don't think I can ever erase the fear out of my mind that it may be still be a piece in there ... even if it's years later. </p> <p>But she has an appointment soon anyway, so I will bring it up to her doc then. I'm hoping she didn't swallow any and if she did, that is passes without incident. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-toddler-bit-thr#post-1260761 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 04:02:23 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1260761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's acting normal and running around as usual this morning. I took down the lights and we're going with just felt &amp; plastic ornaments this year.</p> <p>@mrs. bird: We couldn't find it. I was right next to her, so she didn't go far, but she could just have easily thrown it somewhere.</p> <p>@wheres_c: Oh no :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-toddler-bit-thr#post-1260274 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 20:11:22 +0000 regberadaisy 1260274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: Omg how scary but thanks for sharing.<br /> Now I don't know what to so about lights on the tree..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-toddler-bit-thr#post-1260271 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 20:09:53 +0000 wheres_c 1260271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: awww sorry mama.

I've been so careful ... How the hell?! She literally chomped on that thing! As in took her head and bit it without using her hands! Like bobbing apples! </p> <p>I for damn sure aged 10 years tonight. The next few diaper changes will be nice. I'm wondering if I should save half of the diapers for DH to help sort things out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-toddler-bit-thr#post-1259947 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 16:04:44 +0000 pui 1259947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes!!!

Can you check her clothes again, or the surrounding area for the missing pieces, maybe some fell in another spot. Hope everything turns out okay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-toddler-bit-thr#post-1259751 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 15:00:01 +0000 Alivoo01 1259751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG!!! Scary!! Glad you called, but I'm sure if she was feeling any discomfort, she'd let you know. They do say kids are pretty resilient.... Not sure glass proof is part of that. ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-toddler-bit-thr#post-1259747 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 14:59:38 +0000 MapleMoose 1259747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: Easy for them to say! Mothers never stop worrying. Hope your LO is alright. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-toddler-bit-thr#post-1259726 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 14:50:36 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1259726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's pieces missing! I just got off the phone with the hotline and they managed to get ahold of a doctor - his advice was to just thoroughly sweep through her mouth and that it'll likely pass if she did manage to swallow a piece. They told me not to worry. Fat chance :sad: </p> <p>She's sleeping soundly now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-toddler-bit-thr#post-1259567 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 14:09:29 +0000 sorrycharlie 1259567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh my goodness. i never, ever would have thought of this either. i would call to be safe, though i'm sure she would be upset if she had swallowed any or hurt her mouth/throat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-toddler-bit-thr#post-1259524 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 13:58:44 +0000 mrbee 1259524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Supergluing it together sounds smart! Once Charlie had just put a pill in his mouth, and I was freaking out until I realized I could just count the old pills and see if there were 50 (since it was a new bottle). Thank goodness there were, and I could relax again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-toddler-bit-thr#post-1259510 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 13:55:22 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1259510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think your idea of making sure there aren't any big pieces missing is a good idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-toddler-bit-thr#post-1259508 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 13:55:10 +0000 autumnlove 1259508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: I guess I would think she would be showing more signs of discomfort if she swallowed any but ya...calling the dr is a good idea!

I checked to see what she was up to and she bit through and broke the bulb of larger fake candle-type Christmas light. It was glass! I didn't even know it was glass! I assumed it was plastic since the candle part is plastic. Holy #^&amp;%#! </p> <p>I asked her to spit it out and she did. She had shards of glass in her mouth! She had one stuck under her lip and once I got that out, I went nuts and checked the rest of her mouth thoroughly. I'm not sure if she managed to swallow any :sad: </p> <p>She seems fine and isn't fussy or crying. I Googled and it says to just be alert. I feel absolutely horrible! My husband isn't home because it's his Christmas party tonight. I made sure to buy felt and plastic ornaments and didn't even think about the actual lights! Ahhhhhhhhh! I'm about to superglue all the pieces to see if it's all there!</p> <p> :sad: :sad: :sad: </p> [attach=1448/13/mxapj9.600x600.image.jpg] [attach=1448/13/mxapjc.600x600.image.jpg]
