No I don't give it to her! She found some in my bag while I was unpacking the shopping, turned around and there she was eating it

I know she swallowed 2 pieces as that is all that is missing.

Do I need to panic?

Am kicking myself

Or start growing chewing gum trees in her tummy, like apple pips do.

She'll be fine!!

Thanks for the reassurance

I love the image of growing chewing gum trees
She has just told DH that she "not allowed eat anything else in Mummys bag" he found it very funny. I am a bit PFB when it comes to keeping stuff away from her. Thank goodness it wasn't parecetemol!
