Sticky Situation

Last Saturday morning, I was changing Noah's nappy when I found inside a rather mangled and half digested sticker. A gold and pink one.

Once I got over the initial surprise, I felt rather relieved that my 3 and a half month baby had managed to safely swallow and pass out a sticker. I also felt rather idiotic for allowing my other two children to constantly litter my entire house with stickers. Including regularly sticking them on their baby brother's top, one of which had obviously found its way onto his hand and then into his mouth.

Two days, and a lot of green poo later, Noah wasn't very well and was regularly screaming in pain. As it turned out, he most likely had a stomach bug, but it took a lot of worry and a call to the doctor for me to stop feeling convinced that the sticker had caused some sort of internal damage.

He has now recovered. But he is back to waking for a feed at around 2am, as well as the usual 4/5am. Sob.
