Poison Controll
So two nights ago we put the kids to bed and were enjoying a little peace and quiet. Occasionally we would hear Bradley and knew he was still a wake. I took some clothes in to put them away and found Bradley on top of the changing table and he was saying "Mommy mouth." I reached for him and felt something pasty. Then the scent of Butt Paste hit me. I turned on the light and Bradley had Butt Paste on his hands and ALL over his PJ's. I looked in his mouth and couldn't see anything, but I could smell it on his breath.
I read the back on the tube and it says, "Keep out of reach of children. If swallowed, seek medical help or call Poison Control Center immediately." I picked Bradley up and asked Andy to call Poison Control! By the time I changed Bradley's PJ's, wondering if I was going to have to make him throw up or stay up all night with him to make sure he kept breathing, Andy got a hold of someone. He asked a few questions and the guy told us the he would have to eat TWO tubes of Butt Paste before it would hurt him. He then told us that apparently Butt Paste is a popular taster among toddlers. He has gotten several calls just like ours. I was very relieved and gave Bradley a drink of water and put him right back to bed. He has been just fine!

Scarey! I'm so glad that he's OK!
Huh...you're a much better parent than me...Emma has done that a couple of times with the desitin and I have never thought to have looked on the label to see if it was harmful for her to eat...probably unconsciencely hoping it was and didn't want to do anything about it since she made a huge mess!!
That is good to know. I am so glad Bradley can be the little guinea pig. Tell him not to do it again! I'm glad he ended up fine.
I'm relieved to see that he is all right! And that's good info to know about the Butt Paste!
