Baby put trigger spray in mouth

Hello all
Just a quick question, I stupidly left an empty method bottle by the bin for recycling and my 10 month old got hold of it and put the nozzle in the mouth. I grabbed it away almost immediately but she grimaced which made me think she tasted abit.
Method is supposed to be non toxic but I am a little worried that it still may have caused her harm.
She had her tea and drank loads of water after after and then had breast milk. Should I be worried or consult a doctor? X

I would call 111 for advice

From their website

like all cleaning formulas, method should not be ingested. if one of our products is swallowed, consult your doctor if you feel unwell. if one of our ultra concentrated products, such as method laundry liquid, is swallowed, call your doctor or NHS Direct immediately with the product information available. you can contact NHS Direct on111.

She'll have had a tiny dribble if she ingested it at all. And she's not ill. I wouldn't be worrying.

I (maybe stupidly) did what she did just to see if there was anything in the trigger and I did taste it... I seem to be ok (I know I’m an adult and she’s a small baby)
I said to my husband should we cal 111 and he said ‘nah she will be fine’ which seems to be his response to most things that she does which I worry about.
It was the anti bac spray so not a concentrated product.

You tried it yourself? Bless you op, that's what Mothering does to us......

Keep an eye on her for peace of mind but all she's done is briefly suck it. She's not ingested it, she's not burnt her mouth or had anything that can cause her harm. Your dh is right. She's fine.

@Northernlurker yes, I put it in my mouth to see what she would have tasted 😞 I also figured that if I became ill then I knew she wouldn’t be feeling great either. Insane logic I know!
Thankyou for the reassurance - she does seem ok (as do I!) I will make sure hubby takes out the recycling before she manages to get hold of it next time! X
