HELP! 16mo ds just licked hand sanitizer..

[keeptheballrolling]

Ds just look an empty 30ml bottle of hand sanatizer out of my bag without me realising and licked round the top. I had meant to throw it away I feel so guilty. Will he be ok? Should I call out of hours? He must gghave literally just got a taste of iit and wouldn't have swallowed any more as it was empty.

You're being very ridiculous. I truly wonder what you would do if mn did not exist. This can't be your go to for common sense.

Lick, fine, gulp - ring OOH. If it's any consolation I found my 15 month old in the garden with slugs. Fairly sure they got licked as well.

What ottilia? He's not my PFB?

Ok, so the general tone is that I'm an anxious nut job

He's not?
How could I get it so wrong!

And no one's licked anything untoward until now?
Dog bowl, soap, floor?

He'll be fine.

Thanks for advice everyone. I was genuinely concerned. Im having a rough time with my ananxiety at the minute. It's hard to tell what's real worry and what might seem daft to others..

No, I have a 6yo dd and 16 mo ds and so far we've not had anything untoward ingested (until now)

He seems fine

If it was so toxic that a lick would harm him, it wouldn't be a product that could be used on hands would it?

In newborn check the doc or midwife feels all the way along their palate with a finger. That finger will have been sanitised with the same stuff just prior to the check. Nothing to worry about at all.

You're either very lucky or else you watch them like a hawk.

I honestly would not worry and I think I'm guilty of half that's mentioned on the PFB thread.

Christ, some of the answers on here are a bit harsh and nasty.

Yes, the OP might be over reacting, as I'm sure she now realises, but she did say she's an anxious person.

What happened to empathy?

Thanks everyone for the reassurance. I do feel better. Youre all brill .
I do probably come here for a little common sense sometimes as a pp said, sometimes what feels pike common sense to most people seems like a big deal to me. Sorry if I came across like I was time wasting.

I feel your pain, keep. I also have terrible anxiety issues. Think the other responses are what you needed though (people around me have to use this no-nonsense approach too!). My 13mo DS managed to get into my (zipped) handbag and eat god-knows-how-many tic tags the other day and I was beside myself! Glad this thread has helped.

When my anxiety is bad i worry about stuff like this too. You can't help it. He will be absolutely fine though. Try not to worry... i know it's easier said than done.

My of drank bathroom cleaner at a similar age! I didn't realise he could a. climb on the toilet and b. Open lids!

The only side effect was lemon fresh breath

If you put it on your hands, it is ok to lick.

Aw I would have been the same when mine were little. Don't worry he'll be fine but I can see why you were worried.
