A Choking Hazard (Bandaids)-My scare!!!

[Lizzie32390]

   Alright about 10 minutes ago my daughter started gagging and spit up and at first we thought she was just stuffed because that has happened before but then she started gagging again so my mom told me to look in her mouth and see if anything was in there. Sure enough she had a bandaid at the roof of her mouth...I calmly said something to my mom...she thought I was joking at first since I'm known for that and maybe I  was to calm but I didn't want to panic. The band aid was from her shot she recieved yesterday. I thought she had lost it though because i didn't see it when i picked her up from daycare today. I was scared...I went in to reach for it since it was visible but it was hard to get off since it was sticking and my daughter sarted getting upset and moving a lot so we quickly laid her back and I went for it again I almost lost it because she started sucking back but thankfully got it in between myfingers and pulled it out...my heart was pounding!!! Yesterday the doctor had put a bandaid on her finger we immediatly removed it cause she started chewing on it right away...wonder what the doc was thinking guess she just wasn't!!!

hair clips are a danger too. The same thing can happen with them. Glad your baby is ok!!
