My 3 year old dd has just found an
Old water bottle of mine that is Similar to hers and took a sip of it! It had white floating bits in it!I cleaned my car boot out and hadn't emptied it out yet I just had put it in a bag to go out with the rubbish and she just quickly pulled it and took a sip of it! I grabbed it straight Away from her but she had already swallowed it! I can't remember how old it is but at least 6 months I haven't cleaned out my boot ! It had white floating bits in it when I checked it and I'm presuming that's mould! I'm so worried! She had lots of water since! She has been acting completely normal and not complaining of a bad stomach!
My mum who is a nurse has said to keep an eye on her overnight! But I'm so worried thinking will I need to go a&e??!!

I had exactly this once with 2/3yo dd. I lost a water bottle and searched everywhere. Months later dd wandered into the front room with it. She sipped from it before I could stop her. It had white floaty furry bits in it.

I'm sorry to tell you that...

... nothing happened! She was fine. And I never worked out where she had found the bottle.
