To worry about the missing contact lense?

I’ve just gone to change DD’s bedsheets and discovered one of DH’s contact lenses at the foot of the cot. It’s not on purpose, he will be mortified when I tell him, but that’s now 3 I’ve found around the house in the last week. DD is a young baby and not mobile currently but obviously it can’t keep happening especially the older she gets. He takes them out in the bathroom only so it must be that they have stuck to his fingers instead of going in the bin. I have just opened the bathroom bin, which was emptied yesterday, and I can only find both contact lense wrappers and not the other lense. I am now worried as to where this could be.

Should I be or should I let it go?

Ummm throw it away and stop thinking about it?

I wouldn’t worry about the missing one but I would tell DH he has to be more careful in future.

Why on earth are you worrying about it? Do you have anxiety OP? A massive overreaction.

She’s worrying as obviously plastic is not the best thing for a baby to be putting in their mouths. New mum worries, shocker.

I can see why your concerned about baby eating them or something. DH does need to be more careful in binning them.

Is he aware lots of opticians can recycle them and the packaging?
I've started putting mine into a jar 🫙 in the bathroom so I can take them back to the opticians

Ask him to be more careful disposing of them.
