Washing machine water - sorry need quick response

[Morgan12]

Sorry its not an AIBU.

DS 12 months has just bit the rubber seal of the washing machine where the water pools after a wash. Am I overreacting by worrying? I tasted the water after him and it tasted of nothing. Was literally one bite.

No expert but if it was my child I wouldn't worry too much. Give him lots of water and see how he goes.

There are so many worse things he could have chosen to bite... Don't worry!

Yeah I did think I was overreacting . Thanks for the quick replies.

Ahhh OP, he's going to do far worse things than lick the washing machine seal over the next few years.

I would advise not copying all of them because toddlers are absolutely rank.

He will be fine. As will you.

Did he actually take a chunk of the rubber out ? If not then plenty of drinks and believe me in no time at all he'll have licked, eaten or stuck his fingers in an awful lot worse!
