WWYD - 11 mo old chewing oxiclean measuring cups

[sleepyheads]

So I'm at my moms for dinner with my kids and noticed my almost 11 month old is chewing on a measuring cup from an oxiclean container (only the cups were out, not the container of oxiclean, and the cups were empty). The cup had a tiny bit of white residue/clumps in the corner. I immediately rinsed her mouth as best I could, as well as her hands, and let her drink a bit of juice. What else should I do? Just watch her, or taker her somewhere, or call poison control? WWYD?

Call poison control, no question.

This... Hope everything is okay

Yep, just call. Probably fine but they can tell you for sure, then you don't have to worry or wonder.

I agree, might as well call and see what they say.

Also, check the side of the container and see what to do if it is ingested.

I'd call poison control. It can't hurt.

Were they old cups or current ones that were just left out?

If it was just the empty, used cup I would probably just glare at my mom and keep my eye on things. This is clearly not what other people would do.

I would probably call poison control and hope it made my mom feel awful for leaving it out where my toddler could get it. But I can be passive aggressive like that sometimes.

I would call poison control out of an abundance of caution and to put your mind at ease. But I would be surprised if the residue alone could cause a significant problem.

I would probably keep an eye on it, but it can never hurt to call posion control and I have to say when I did have to call they were extremely helpful.

Thanks for all the advice. I did call poison control and the nurse told me what to look out for (irritation in her mouth, vomiting, etc). Poison control even called me back an hour after I called to check DD. She has no symptoms, ate dinner just fine, so I think she's ok.

Glad she's all right!
