My 18 months old and I were hanging out in my office this evening playing around on my piano. We don’t often hang out in there. She went behind me to my desk while I was playing piano and I didn’t think much of it. After max a minute, more likely 20 seconds I turn around and she’s found this bag that contains packs of button batteries and is waving one pack in the air (I didn’t even know that bag existed.) some of the packet had been open with batteries missing but I couldn’t tell you how many were accounted for as I think this bag is from like 2020. The only ones we thought could potentially be a problem were the alkaline L344 1.5v batteries as they had the most used. However, she didn’t at all look like she had put anything in her mouth. Likeliness if she had she would have made a weird noise or run away from me with it in her mouth which she does with rocks. The logical part of me knows that the chances of her ingesting it in that small period of time is very low and only plausible if a battery had been lose in the bag but there was a lot of other bits and bobs in the bag and she was very much playing with the pack on the top making me think she had just found it. However, it has been over 3 hours (my child is now peacefully sleeping, and acted completely normal before bed) and I have gone into an absolute stress spiral of what ifs! It’s been 3 hours and she’s shown no symptoms at all. Even if by the off chance that she did swallow something, would she be showing symptoms by now if it was dangerous? I know the big danger is if it gets lodged in the trachea and Oesophagus but I feel like we would have noticed discomfort from her by now if that was the case.
