As title my 21 month old was in the bath just popped her in to rinse out the bit lotion I had put in her hair (can't use shower as she is terrified if it!) I put her in washed it out then was about to get her straight out and she had a little cup and took a sip of the water should I be worried this could harm her it was a tiny tiny sip but I'm kind of worries now she is fine in herself x

She'll live. And do far more dangerous things in the next year or two!

Lol, my children drink gallons of soapy dirty water that they most likely also peed in. They're still all alive!

she'll be fine. In a couple of years you will chuckle at this one after all the other things she'll get up to.

Lol I wouldn't normally worry but just had a freak out moment! Sometimes I panic a bit much! Thank you all xx

Head lice treatments usually contain ingredients that are otherwise found in products like conditioner - stuff that makes the hair slippery so you can comb the nits out and they can't cling on as easily.

She'll be fine.
