What Are The Effects Of Accidental Ingestion Of Bleach By Toddler?
Hi my 14 month old grabbed a bottle of bleach cleaner for kitchens and was holding it, he may have been sucking on the tip and ingested a little bleach! I m really not sure and now we are really worried! He is still nursing so I gave him some breast milk and seems to be acting fine! Is there anything I should do or look for?

Hello,
Small amount of bleach does not cause any problems. If the baby is having any symptoms like vomiting or decreased activity, you have to consult a paediatrician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
