A member asked:
Saw small spider in house that flicked away and now cannot find spider. what would happen if 2 1/2 week old newborn swallowed spider?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spider: Highly unlikely the 2.5 week old swallowed a spider but if that actually happened, the spider will come out in the diaper- i.e. dead. AS long as your baby is acting well and eating well you shouldn't worry
