Tiny bit of stamping ink

I had a great idea of trying to make DH a card by putting ink on DS's hand and pressing it onto a card. Didn't really work, but since then I've got really worried about the stamping ink. I've cleaned it all off DS's hand (he's 8 weeks old btw) with wipes and scraped it out from under his nails, but I'm still really paranoid about him putting his hand in his mouth.

Please reassure me that I got it all off and that that tiny an amount wouldn't hurt anyway?

He'll be fine I did similar with DS on DP's first birthday after DS was born. I wasn't very good at washing the ink off so DS hand looked a bit orange till he got in the bath but he is quite a sturdy two year old these days

That's good to hear. I don't think the ink was particularly toxic and I certainly wouldn't worry about eating a load of it myself, but with a baby everything's scary!
