I was downstairs doing laundry. I heard Isaak crying, and Daddy saying, "Spit it out!" over and over again.
I went upstairs and Travis said, "I caught Isaak literally eating toothpaste."
I was buying all natural toothpaste at stores, but the boys seemed to be brushing and spitting well. They get little kid Crest samples at the dentist, so I was using those up.
Isaak was sitting in the time-out chair crying and saying, "Am I going to die?" As I was leaving for work Travis was reading him the surgeon general's warning on toothpaste:
"If you accidentally swallow more than used for brushing, seek professional assistance or contact a Poison Control Center immediately. As with other toothpaste, if irritation occurs discontinue use."
Then this was sent to me:
There is never a dull moment in the Apel household.
My youngest ate some when he was little and it ended up being a big deal. He was so sick we took him in to be checked. :(
ReplyDeleteGlad your little man's ok!
And to think, I have a hard enough time getting them to brush their teeth it seems they hate the flavor of toothpaste I have ever bought. I would be shocked to find my girls willingly putting some in their mouths to eat! Glad he just got a slight scare and is going to be ok!
ReplyDeleteMy little guy swallowed toothpaste every day for like 2 years and he's ok LOL.
ReplyDeleteI am with Theresa on this one...
ReplyDeleteIt is a struggle with flavor for Broxton. ALWAYS
Well they make those toothpastes taste so good that it is no wonder he wanted to eat it.
