Brief Answer:
Do not worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Greetings of the day
Dear Ms XXXX

First and foremost let me reassure you there is no cause for concern. Drinking soap water will lead to few episodes of loose motion especially if the quantity of soap consumed is more, as it is surface active agent. It will not cause any systemic reaction.
I would suggest you the following

1. Continue giving her normal feeds

2. Ensure good intake of water

3. Keep chemical, soaps medicine out of reach of babies

If any issue, you can visit your Pediatrician for further assessment and reassurance.


Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.


Take care

Brief Answer:
There is no cause for concern

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms

One or two episode of vomiting is quite common. It is very reassuring and majority of soap water would have been vomited out.
There is nothing to be worried about.

Take care
