Baby ate a bluebell!

[Kittypillar]

Hello, neurotic mum of PFB here...

We visited a bluebell wood near us to take some photos to mark the fact our DD is nearly 1. Photographer sat her down amongst the bluebells to take some photos. Quick as a flash, she grabs a bluebell and it goes right in her mouth. I run over to pull it out but I'm not convinced I got all of it in time...

I did dreaded Dr Google which says bluebells are poisonous, so I'm now bricking it just a weeny bit. DH thinks I'm being ridiculous, that I probably got it all and she's fine.

I probably am being ridiculous (and have had issues with anxiety since I've had her so this isn't exactly unlike me), but just want to make sure I shouldn't be taking her to the doctor? She does seem absolutely fine at the moment. Not even sure how many bluebells you'd need to eat to have any effects anyway?! Annoyed at myself for not stopping her more quickly...

Next year when I want a birthday photo, I'll take one of her amongst some cotton wool instead. Urgh, hate being such a fun sponge mother

@Victor one leaf of foxglove might have catastrophic outcome

Omg I'd be exactly the same. You're not unreasonable to worry. I'd be freaking right out! But I'm such an anxious parent. It's normal to worry though. And horrible! Just call 111 for reassurance, just to put your mind at rest. You deserve it! Nothing worse than panicking. Your DH is right though, you probably are being ridiculous (I always am!) But as a mother it comes naturally 🤷

Ha I was out for lunch with two friends yesterday one said she had some put bluebells in a salad, the other, who is a practicing herbalist, said they were poisonous. First friend seems to be fine nonetheless!

I ate sheep shit on Exmoor at the same age as DD and lived to tell the tale.

No bluebell advice (sorry!) but just wanted to say that you sound like a really nice person Kitty and I bet you’re a great mum. Congrats on your baby’s first year! Hope that your anxiety gets better and the CBT helps x
