My 2week old might have ingested some gel crystals from my leaked breast pad as i saw some gel crystals on her mouth.worrying signsshould i look for?

This will pass: Depending on the amount of cyrstals ingested it may result in loose stool or even some constipation. The crystals will likely pass in 24-48 hours and may be visible in the stool.
