A ball bearing? Or a herring? Either will be fine. A ball bearing is tiny and will probably come through her before long.

Mine swallowed a 5p recently, because he's under 2 we had to go straight to a&e for x-rays. Fortunately it wasn't stuck anywhere and after 4 lovely days of sifting through his nappies he pooed it out. If you're worried call your GP or 111 and they'll advise if a hospital trip is needed.
