I found my 10 months old sucking on a highlighter...(WB mason), i have no idea if its toxic or not..

Question

does anyone know if its really harmful?

Answer 1

NO a highliter isnt a very toxic thing at all! It's not ideal, of course but it will NOT harm your baby. My daughter had sucked on markers for the longest time! I was going to school part time and she kept grabbing them!

From now on, just make sure they're out of his reach.

But dont worry it is HARMLESS!!!

Good Luck!

Answer 2

You just call poison control, tell them what you kid has put in their mouths, and they tell if it is toxic or not and what you should do.  Will save A LOT of time instead of going to a clinic and being told that everything is okay.  I've called 3 times, and each time they have told me everything was fine.
