Poison Control

Well, I made my first call to poison control. ANSWER: Ingested potting soil is an irritant and may cause your child to throw up. If he ingested the white balls, that's merely styrofoam. There is no need to be alarmed. Simply give him something to drink.

That was good news. Seeing my child's face covered in potting soil reminded me of one thing - i have a lot more training to do....slow deep breath!

In the mean time, I'm glad I had some of THIS on hand.

*Colic Calm contains some charcoal. Light bulb moment. Ahh yes! Charcoal is for poison.
As i waited to talk to a poison control specialist, I gave him a preventive dose - just in case. I figured whatever the answer was, a little charcoal wouldn't hurt him. So glad i have it on hand.


Also, i love my Numimed Dispenser. So easy to use when giving medicine. http://www.colicshop.com


Back to training my little man....
