Great that she is OK!! No linky, our nurse just told me that and I I have it also in my PAFT handbook if you do PAFT it should be in there somewhere (I think its around the 6-7month one?).

Hehe the things they eat!

just had call back from doctor. she should be fine, unless she is constipated then there is no need to worry.
also, unless she stuck her head in the bean bag (which she didnt) then it is unlikely that she would of inhaled them.
thanks for all your replies.......i can stop worrying now]]> Wed, 25 Jun 2008 21:57:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18579&PID=424100&title=polystyrene-balls-injested-ooops#424100 <![CDATA[polystyrene balls injested ooops : Oh I got told it was on top of...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18579&PID=424092&title=polystyrene-balls-injested-ooops#424092 Author: NeoshasMummy

polystyrene is banned in preschools because it can swell when inside you but being that they were those little small balls i would say she is fine and obviously passing them ]]> Wed, 25 Jun 2008 20:59:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18579&PID=423982&title=polystyrene-balls-injested-ooops#423982 <![CDATA[polystyrene balls injested ooops : Oh dear!!

I think it is fine as you've found them in her nappy, so they've just passed through her. My daughter stuck a couple up her nose once and luckily they came out after a few days as she had shoved them quite far back!]]> Wed, 25 Jun 2008 20:37:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18579&PID=423942&title=polystyrene-balls-injested-ooops#423942 <![CDATA[polystyrene balls injested ooops : I am sure that a few wont be a...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18579&PID=423928&title=polystyrene-balls-injested-ooops#423928 Author: MummyFreckle

I am sure that a few wont be a big deal, but if you are concerned I would give Healthline a quick call or the poisons line.

Heheheh I have a vision of little white balls everywhere!!

Maisy spilt milk all over her bean bag on monday and whilst emptying it, a few went on the floor........actually it was more like a snowstorm. anyway, thought i was keeping a pretty good eye on Maisy but when i changed her nappy this morning......yep, loads of lil white balls.
can this be dangerous/poisonous?
