Toddler swallowed chewing gum!
Hey so my husband gave my toddler chewing gum and he chewed it then swallowed it!!! I’m really scared I know the gum can’t be digested. He’s eaten and drank water since. How serious is this ? Will it just come out the other end ? I’ve heard chewing gum blocks the digestive tract and can stay in there for years ?!!!

Why the hell did he do that?!!
I can’t speak for a toddler, but in school I used to swallow my gum every day if I thought I was going to be caught (at least a couple of pieces a day for a few years) and I’m alright. You should definitely tell him off for giving it to a baby though as their stomachs are so much smaller!! Just to add I definitely don’t do this anymore, I was a stupid kid 😭
