A member asked:

My 5 month old baby swallowed a small piece of hair( my husband moustache) will it be a problem? what can i do? am.already worried pls help

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Relax: This to shall pass. Prepare for other strange items.It seems babies/toddlers use their sense of taste as part of exploring their world. The main items I worry about are drugs/button batteries and small magnets. Keep these away from baby and life will be easier.
