My daughter just ate...

A rubber band... One of small hair rubber bands. She pulled it out of her hair and was chewing on it and when I went to get it from her mouth. She pushed it back with her tongue and gagged on it for a min.. before I could get it she swallowed it. Is she going to be ok?

  • @blessedtxmom thank you! It just freaked me out at first because they are kinda hard and I had never heard of this happening. Lol she won't keep anything in her hair but her bangs and hair are long so I have to do something to keep it out of her eyes.. I don't really want to cut it but I might have to... :(
  • My daugh5er is the same way and actually swallowed a little clip doing the same exact thing. I flipped out, but sure enough she pooped it out problem free. Lol no worries!
  • @MrsStanley_x2 lol wow I would flip over the clip. The rubber band freaked me out. Did you end up cutting your daughters hair or just keep pulling it back? I really don't want to cut it but I can't have this happen all the time. I don't get it, I have been doing her hair since she was a week old and out of no where she started this... She should be use to it by now!
  • Oh I straight panicked and kept checking her diaper constantly. Haha and I didn't cut it! Somedays I can trick her and put a little clip in real fast and we are good to go.... aaand somedays I use water (and a quick spurt of hair spray) and try and keep in behind her ears. That's how she was- the behavior came out of nowhere!
  • Lol my daughter has hard stool so I'm wondering if ill even see it. What kind of hair spray do you use? I never thought to do that... It's seems like my daughters hair grows forward to her face and eyes!
  • My lo is in the stage of pulling her hair out, we put up all the time. Some days she messes with it and others she doesn't. I just keep putting it up and telling her no.
  • Mine too! My husband calls her "emo baby" when it's in her eyes. I just use a quick spurt of mine (suave in a pink can) and cover her eyes thoroughly. I don't go "toddlers and tiaras" on her so my ped said it was fine. Lol
  • Oh no! I swallowed my earring whenvi was one, I pooped it out my mom washed it and taped it in my baby book Lmaoo.
