Unsure if baby swallowed a small piece of wipe

FTM and quite anxious!! Need some advice

Baby is 10 months. I know I’m stupid he was playing with the packet of Huggies baby wipes (yes I know I shouldn’t have given it to him but it was the only thing he wanted to play with) and I looked away for 1-2 seconds and he had taken some wipes out. I never saw him have any piece of a wipe in his mouth but I quickly grabbed the whole packet and noticed some part of a half wipe was missing. I asked husband if he had only used half a wipe earlier and he said no.
Checked baby’s mouth there was nothing, he had his milk and fell asleep a while after.

I have googled it and read things about toxicity and you should go hospital straight away and others saying it will come out with the poo.

I feel so stupid and scared and don’t know what to do. Please help.

I have searched the whole room and gone through the whole bin and can’t find the missing piece of the wipe. What do I do?

Is there a number on the packaging you can call for reassurance?

First of all, don't feel stupid about giving your baby a pack of wipes! EVERY nappy change I would give them to DD to keep her entertained.

She hasn't choked, and if she is her usual self then there is nothing at all to worry about and will poop it out (is she has even swallowed it)

For reassurance call the helpline but I cannot imagine there is anything harmful in a wipe.
