To ask what things your children have eaten that they shouldn't of that's ended up with an a&e trip

[gentlyscented]

Was talking about this with some friends yesterday and curious to know what have people experienced with their children?

My daughter when she was 3 bit into a laundry liquid tablet 🙈 was the scariest thing and I was a panicked mess!

She also sprayed bathroom bleach in her eye when we visited my mum which was equally as horrific!

Funnily enough though my other 3 have never done anything like this, or stuck anything up there nose. Unlike me at 6 years old getting a diamanté stuck my nostril and spending a night in hospital because they was struggling to retrieve it 😬

My 2 yr old stuck a pea up her nose that I had to go and get removed. Then did it again the following week (I managed to blow that one out though) 🤦‍♀️

My then 18 month old swallowed a penny, he had it in his mouth and I didnt know, I picked him up and lay him down to put his nappy on and just seen it go down his throat! I was mortified.

I refuse to buy those liquid tap things as I did once and my children were obsessed with them, never again.

Both ate a coin and DC1 put a fallen out tooth in her ear 🙄

@Houseonahill little monkeys aren't they 🙈

@whatsthepointthen @Njordsgrrrl Omg coins are my worst nightmare! A 4 year old on my street got a 2p stuck in her throat and her mum was frantic running around the street trying to get someone to help her, was the scariest thing I'd ever seen! I try to make sure I don't leave any laying around 😬 but you've got to have eyes up your arse with kids

not my child but apparently when I was little i ate a cigarette butt...it was 80s...and had my stomach pumped.

5p piece. He still has the xray picture showing it in his stomach!

When my son was one, he drank bleach. I assume either my or OH didn’t put the cap into the bottle of bleach right enough we crawled into the downstairs bathroom whilst I was making lunch, I saw him crawl in and went to grab him by which point he was drinking a bottle of extra thick.

He was fine, thank god!

@OnlyFoolsnMothers my dad had to have he's stomach pumped when he was 11 for drinking petrol!
An x friend of mine had an 18 month old that took a swig of white spirit 😬

Peanuts unfortunately. I'd given her a bit of peanut butter to try and that ended up with an ambulance and an overnight stay. She was 8 months old!

My daughter enjoyed the toilet duck green gel block in toilet bowl for lunch once 🤦🏻‍♀️

Its true you really do have to have eyes in the back if your head. Luckily it came out the other end with no trouble but I was terrified at the time.

Plug-in air freshener.
(Urgent care, not A&E though)

Raw cake batter before we knew he was severely allergic. Went into anaphylaxis

A little button battery - spent the night in hospital then it came out the other end

Half a snail and half its shell. The other half was stuck on her chin - very attractive.

We thought DS2 bit off and swallowed the spike on top of the head of a little Buddha figurine. He grabbed it off the piano to put in his mouth and I took it straight away from him, at which point DH said "didn't that used to have a spike on top?" DH and my mum rushed him up to A&E (I stayed with DS1) and apparently felt total fools with a happy healthy baby sitting there for hours. Anyway they couldn't see it on a scan but thought it was made of soapstone or something that wouldn't have shown up. For a week my mum was ringing asking if I'd found it in his nappy and we were looking for it.

A couple of weeks later I was deep cleaning the hall and pulled the piano back from the wall to find the snapped off spike from the Buddha head on the skirting board, he hadn't swallowed it in the first place

Half a bottle of medised

My youngest was known well in our local Children's A&E, she knew the drill to flush the BB pellets out of her ears. Them and anything else she could put in.

My eldest broke and drank the contents of a freezer thermometer, in the 80's. Our house phone had broken and I had to run with her to a local shop in phone an ambulance.

My eldest liked to eat frozen fish fingers, but they didn't seem to do her any harm, though.

Half a packet of wallpaper paste - in the powder form. Luckily it didn't have fungicide in it so he was OK. But the (lovely) nurse at A&E warned me that he might be a bit bunged up for a while .

The crystals in a urine sample test tube later confirmed to be borax. She's still with us thank God. She'd do it again though she has little sense of danger at nearly 4 unlike her elder sister who is the picture of sense.

@Mulberryandthyme omg did it knock them out?

Have any of you been pressed my doctors/nurses over how these kids got to do this in the first place?

After my daughters 2nd episode I was visited by my hv who said that if something else was to accidentally occur then ss would get involved 😳 that made me extremely anxious and I then purchase lots of shelves to keep things up high. Not had any accidents since touch wood.

@JohnCRaven I think some children are just naturally inquisitive.ive lucky my area weren't the same 😬

I'm lucky even

Others!! Damn phone
