1 yr old eaten part of a bouncy ball.....

[fourisfine]

Ok he's definatly eaten part of it, he's prone to eating random things - the googly eye in the nappy was rather startling a few months back!

But the question is will it just go through him or should I be worried?

TIA

Bump

Provide anything little ones swallow are smooth and fairly small and they are well immediately after, it just needs a regular nappy sweep and wait for the offending article to come through. If there is any tummy pain, distension, vomiting or other worrying symptoms at any time take to A&E. Dont think rubber shows up on an XRay and they wont xray anyway unless they think its somewhere strange like the lungs!

Ds eats the foam floats in the baths. It turns up in his poo.

How bouncy would you ds be though

er yes worry

southeastastra,

Why please?

Hasn't shown up yet, I gave him sweetcorn to eat as a marker and thats come through but no bouncy ball bits.....

oh ignore me, i just worry when they eat odd things and try to spot them in the poo!

ds swallowed a bit of lego once, i don't think that turned up at all

I wouldn't worry about bouncy ball too much as it's not sharp and it's pretty inert as substances go.

My DS1 swallowed a bit of a metal yogurt lid once. Cue 5 hours of solid screaming (we were driving Bristol to Scotland at the time), followed by a frantic 5am visit to A&E in Stafford. On the way there he did a gigantic fart and fell asleep. Then he was fine.

Only when the article emerged in his nappy a day or so later did we realise what had been going on. As my aunt said "Metal + Stomach acid = pretty bloody painful!"

So if it was small and nothing's happened I wouldn't overly worry.

Ok, Thanks ladies, I just had this horible vision of me being blissfully unaware of the toxic properties of bouncy balls whilst every other parent on the planet would have been panicking and screaming " dear god no! no a bouncy ball"

He has been displaying tiggerish tendancies lately tho...
