No worries: Those little pieces of stuff that are accidentally swallowed (including little bones, seeds, plastic, glass, metal, etc...) will usually be pooped out without causing problems. Dangerous objects are magnets, button batteries, and larger or sharper intentionally-eaten items. If worried, one can talk with her primary care doctor.
