9 answers  2 Yr. Old Swallowed Gum  My 2 year old found a peice
of Trident gum. It was still in the rapper. I know that because
he had it in his hand when he showed it to me. Anyway, the
little pooper was able to chew it up and swallow it. That was
about 5 hrs. ago and now when he burps he smells minty. Actually
his breath kinda just smells minty in general. Is that weird? I
assume that nature will runs it course I don't have any reason
to freak out - right? **Please don't get down me for the found
gum I feel bad enough already....  What can I do next?  More
Answers   lol what kid doesn't at one time or another do this, I
wouldnt worry or feel guilty, he should be fine. I remember when
I watched my niece one day when she was 2 and I didnt have kids
yet, I freaked and took her to the doctor cause she picked a old
piece of gum up from the parking lot and ate and swallowed it, I
thought she would get some type of illness from it. :)  My 22
month old daughter did the same thing this morning she got into
my purse
