Hey girls, not long home. Thanks Mamafy and Lisa I saw you say you'd text but I haven't been checking my phone.

Niamh managed to get a hold of a spray bottle of something called Deep Sleep. Mixture of essential oils, main ingredient is chamomile.

I had no idea it was there, let alone that she could take off the top, then unscrew the lid

Was only gone for a minute to use the loo, came back and she had the straw bit of the spray in her mouth, and saw her suck all the oil out of it. Bottle was totally empty, couch wet but had no idea if she'd drunk out of the bottle.

Scared the life out of me, grabbed the bottle and saw it was hazardous, not to be used on skin, etc.

So rang NHS 24, and they said it was very toxic. I was sort of thinking, ok you get chamomile tea so surely not? She seemed fine, lips swollen and a bit of coughing but that was it. But nurse said take her straight to A&E apparently due to the essential oils being very dangerous.

We had to stay in A&E for 6 hours to let Nim be monitored. They spoke about getting us a paeds bed, but in the end said they would if she needed it after the 6 hours. So 6 hours was up at about 11pm. Thankfully she was still fine, and they let us go.

Niamh didn't sleep a wink at all, so she was getting really upset. She's tucked up, happy in bed now though and I have made her promise not to frighten Mummy like that again!

I just turned my back for a second, I don't think I've ever been so frightened as thinking something might happen to her. Really horrible, but thankfully amounted to nothing.

Am very very glad to read that she's ok...kids are little monkeys at grabbing things...if I started on the stories of what my brothers and I ended up doing when we were ickle monsters, it's a wonder we're still here Resilient little blighters, children, what-what!

though. Must be so scary

 

[Tonks]

This is our first incident really, so I dread to think what else she has in store for me!

I just feel awful tbh. She has a playpen which we'd put away, but will be getting it out again tomorrow so if I do have to leave the room she can go into it. I just didn't think, and she could have hurt herself.

 

[Mamafy]

quit hun, I swear they're so quick at this age its scarey

Loads scarey for Mummy & Daddy & I'm sure little niamh was blissfully unaware; hope you're ok xoxo

Was gonna text tonight but was afraid I'd wake niamh if she managed to sleep

 

[Sam's Mum]

Sounds terrifying but I'm so glad she's ok... amazing what they manage to get into when you think they're perfectly safe isn't it?! x

Sorry, should have text you.

Shes gone down, but waking up and crying every 10mins or so. tbh though I think thats purely down to the fact she didnt manage to sleep until 11ish on the drive home, and is now overtired.

 

[Mamafy]

hope you both get some sleep xoxoxo

 

[Mervs Mum]

I'm so glad she's ok

 

[Mamafy]

How's lo today hun? Did you get my text?

[Tonks]

[Mamafy]
