Swallowed cherry stones

They won't hurt 4.5 year old dd, will they? She hasn't choked on them, just swallowed them ... they pass straight through, right?

I used to swallow cherry stones by the hundredweight when I was little - we grew cherries and I wasn't allowed to eat them, used to nick them when no-one was looking and end up having to swallow the stone! Never did me any harm...

(but I do get these funny little white flowers tumbling out of my ears every spring...dunno what's that's all about )

I'm sure they won't do any harm. They're nice and smooth.

I can't get DS1 to spit out cherry stones, and I got bored of trying.

My dad always used to say we'd get trees inside us ... I was very careful not to swallow them just in case!

I thought they were small enough to pass through OK, just wanted to check - particularly as she swallowed about 10 of them (at least she didn't shove them up her nose ...)

Thank you

DD2 used to swallow them all the time...never a problem, 'til the time she swallowed the stalks as well! She was very sick, and now won't eat them at all.
