My 1 year old (17 months) was eating a chicken wing, and i went to check on the progress of her eating and she ate the whole bone in the wing part!

Not to worry: Take a piece of the chicken bone and leave it in vinegar over night. When you see how soft the bone is in the morning, you will realize why there is no cause for alarm. The acidity of the stomach is MUCH more than that of vinegar. If the baby is behaving normally, there is no problem.
