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 😬

Nothing bad in their mouths luckily. We did have a jellybean up the nose incident though, which I felt quite judged for in A+E..they were basically saying 'how did he manage to do this, were you not watching him' as if any parent can stare at their kids literally all day and never let them out of their sight.

Whats confusing is, we had not had jelly beans in the house ever. So I assume he somehow smuggled it from school!

I'm laughing so much about the dog and the crayon.

Vicks Vaporub. We had to stay in as there was no precedent for a child continuing to eat the entire tub after the first disgusting taste...we had to go to A&E about 3 years afterwards for something unrelated and the receptionist, after taking my Daughter's name, exclaimed 'oh, the Vicks baby'

Fairy washing powder (thinking it was sugar!). 3 years old. Trip to A&E to be given stuff to throw up some very soapy sick bubbles!

@gentlyscented - no we waited in a and e for an hour and dd ran round and round like a nutcase the whole time. It was over 30 years ago, so no long lasting effects

Not my DC but when I was a child in the 80s I vividly remember eating the toilet bleach block at playschool. I had to stand in the corner for being naughty!
When Mum picked me up she hit the roof that they hadn't called her and we ended up at A and E and I had my stomach pumped.

Maggots....DS when 2 found a pile of maggots on a dead rabbit in the garden and happy tucked in...

Ive got two DC. The first was a nightmare - he ate a small lightbulb from the xmas tree fairy lights, put a pebble up his nose, sucked the contents of a bottle of nail varnish and ate a tub of aqueous cream. He also shut his willy in the drawer of the DVD player.
DC2 is angelic.

Not swallowed but my nephew put a little Lego head up his nose, parents couldn't get it out so a trip to A&E. Funny thing was it was looking down out of his nose!

😂

Ds2 put a lego stud up his nose. Too far up for me to reach it with anything and too small to be removed via the mothers kiss method.
GP didn't do lego extraction from toddlers so I went to the local walk in clinic. The poor doctor there also said it wasn't something they usually did, but he'd have one go and if he couldn't do it, we'd have to go to A&E.
I did not want to go to A&E as I'd only been there two days before with ds1 who'd fallen off some play equipment and broken his arm.
Thankfully the doctor was successful and lego Lightning McQueen was reunited with his lego tail light that evening, though I did clean off the blood and snot first.

The second hand of a watch. It was on the floor and had a rubberised strap and face - but she chewed so hard the plastic over the face came off. We found all the other bits but not the second hand! The nurse at A&E said the only thing they really worry about is cell batteries

My brother poured neat gin down toddler DSis' throat once but it was the seventies so no need for treatment or indeed, moving the alcohol beyond the reach of a pre-schooler.

Wish he'd done it to me tbh, I drink far too much and sister not at all.

Laughing so hard at the snail,crayon and the Lego head 🤣🤣

Wow some of these hardcore! Maggots though 🤢🤢🤢🤢

My 3yo swallowed a wedding ring
I was on poo patrol for a week waiting for her to poop it out

.DS when 2 found a pile of maggots on a dead rabbit in the garden and happy tucked in...

[hock] ^^

A 2 inch section of chicken bone The A and E Doctor was from Eastern Europe and apparently eating the bones is encouraged there due to the calcium content...

DS was 2 at the time..

Dd1 swallowed a small, button battery at 18 months (dp had let her play with batteries ). We didn't even know until I changed her nappy later and found it.

Dd1 stuck a pea up her nose. Not content on doing one shove, she put a piece of sponge up there months later 🙄
Dd2 shoved tissue up her nose 🙄
Hmm, a bit of a theme going on...

Went to the park for a picnic when my eldest just started crawling and found her with 3 fag butts in her hand ready to chew. My first lesson in needing eyes at the back of your head as a parent!

Take a chill pill nige 🙄 no one died.

@MyBreadIsEggy 😬😬😬😬

DS got playmobil treasure stuck up his nose and had to have it removed. Nearly had to go to the ENT and have a general.

Less than a week later the daft twat ate a poisonous mushroom. Luckily death was rarely the outcome.

A week after that he jumped on a fucking sea urchin and the spines got infected.
