DS2 has eaten some Babybel wax

The plonker.

Am betting this has happened to someone else here - do I have a red waxy nappy to look forward to?

mine just mash the wax into the carpet 😩 could be an interesting nappy!

I have briefed DH, so he doesn't panic at the sight of red when the fateful nappy arrives.

Normally he's pretty good at unwrapping them himself, but evidently this time he got frustrated and just took a whacking great bite straight through the wax. I can't imagine it tasted nice, but he's very, uh, mission-oriented.

it's food safe, so won't cause any harm. Will eventually come out, probably a right mess!

My dog did this. I had to pull it out of his bum when he had a poo. Sorry

Would have been handy if the poo came out ready wrapped @AriettyHomily !

My dd did this a few times when she was a toddler, once she even managed to eat the wrapper too! ( raided the fridge when I wasn’t looking)
The plastic came out whole, the wax in chewed up chunks!

I think this is why theyre changing the packaging! My ds used to do this with raisin boxes, just munch through it because it was in his way!! He has also eaten the napkin that was wrapping up the crepes we treat ourselves to at the local farmers market every now and then

As for having to pull it out, I have had to do the same with runner beans. They seen to never fully come out, or get chewed properly, so when I open the nappy theyre still in the bum hole looking like a pencil waiting to be sharpened.

Oh lord. I'm not particularly squeamish, but actively pulling out of bum I could live without...

I knew someone here would be able to report on its passage through the digestive system though.

My dog eats it daily thanks to the toddler throwing it on the floor. It just comes out in her poo.

Don't worry it'll be fine I'm sure. I used to love chewing on those things when I was younger and probably swallowed a lot. I also used to chew all the buttons from tv remotes, and a lovely dolls pram I got one Christmas, teeth marks straight in the handle🤣

It will be fine.
I don’t think it would be permissible to use the wax coating if it were toxic or harmful.
As pps have said, it will just be pooped out.😁

Oh, I'm not worried. Just amused and slightly grossed out!
