My son just ate a plum under the "watchful" eyes of his mother .. and the stone too ..

Called Bupa (basically NHS direct) and they seemed to think it was fine, he laughed and said does he like his food then ..

I've read that the smallest part of the digestion system is at the opening to the stomach, so if he's not choking now, he's ok .. ?

any thoughts?

edit: hes about 21 months ..

If he is not choking, he is okay. Plum stone should pass out. You can do Gill McKieth test tomorrow to his poo to check. Take it easy, and love to your little baby.

You were fortunate that he didn't choke on it. My son swallowed a soft mint whole when he was about 2, started choking on it but luckily it melted small enough for him to swallow.

She was fortunate ... how ****ing stupid to give a baby a whole plum ..

Without knowing your good lady it does read a little retarded.

Saying that, the mother-in-law gave my Mrs cousins daughter a bar of soap to chew on

I knew someone who gave their baby a whole grape - she choked on that.

Back slap job to dislodge it.

Yep, that worked a treat when my mate's as old as 7 year old once choked on a gobstopper. She was in a bad way, but her dad battered her back loads and succeeded in popping it out before the ambulance turned up.

Remember, if patting them on the back doesn't do the job, grab the little tykes by the feet, hold them upside down and pat them harder. Might seem extreme, but it's been known to save lives

My ex once ate a whole coconut in one go

Ours used to love plums, we used a gauze thing they could suck the fruit through. My wife knows someone whose baby died after getting a grape stuck in its throat. It does happen.

lol wut??? I assume "ate" is an adjective to her sticking it in her clunge. There's noway you could eat a facking coconut whole, unless it was an undergrown small one.

Will the little 'un poo it out ok then you think

Any round shaped food should be cut in half and that will take away most of the choking hazard. Our kids probably wont get an imperial mint until they leave home

As I thought a made up lie, which you thought was funny, fail...

Lee247

Ehhhhh. How in Gods name would a wimmins get a coconut in her bits

Lee247

No disrespect here, pimmo. But she was feeding the new baby. What were you doing????Could you not have kept an eye on the little one
I hope he is ok. Hopefully he will pass it, but the bad news is, you will have to check to make sure he does.

I've seen it done with a melon so why not?

Have you seen (and more to the point felt) the outside of a coconut lately? The poor girl would want to machine-sand the flippin' thing for a while first, at the very least.

bioforger

iTrader: (1)

ok whatever the point is you can't eat one whole!

Sorry - but post from someone that obviously doesn't have 2 kids and a bit unfair imho.

Pimmo - glad your little one is ok and didn't choke.

Nothing worse than having your child choke on you, my eldest did it twice when we was little - on the most innocuous food items. Managed to clear it both times but bloody hell, it doesn't half scare the **** out of you.

He seems find so I hope so ..

No, its a good question, have you read any of my threads about my chest ? the meds I'm on give me diarrhoea .. one baby was safely in his chair, the other in her arms. I left them in what I thought was a safe situation and if I hadn't the situation would have got very er .. messy ..

Lee247

I have two kids, thanks. Both grown up, so have been there

Sorry pimmo, I wasn't taking a pop at you. I just think some of the comments about your wife are a bit harsh. Looking after two kids isn't easy, and the gap isn't huge between them. Also, you being ill is going to make things even more difficult. If she was feeding the baby, and little one wanted some attention too, she probably didn't even think properly.
Get well soon and I hope he passes the stone, soon. I don't relish the idea of looking for it though

+1 It was more a reactionary post about your Mrs as it seemed such a daft thing to do. Hence my next comment of 'having all to come myself'.

Much love to your Mrs, your runs, your beautiful kids and most importantly Virgin Media

Lee247

Yep, you have it all to come. It's the most fantastic thing in the world, but sometimes you are just so tired, silly things happen.
It's so easy for people to judge, but I bet everyone has been there at some point.
I remember my son, choking on a biscuit. My Mum was so shocked, she just looked at him. I picked him up, threw him over my lap and hit between his shoulders. Out it popped, thankfully. I promptly went to the kitchen and threw up.

No one (including me) means anything by it.. but it was a spazzy thing to do ..

She's learnt her lesson .. and my venting on here saved her an *** kicking
