Exact same thing happened to me!

I voted 2-4 times. Once was the aforementioned time and another time dd2 swallowed a bunch of diaper cream. Another time DH accidentally gave dd2 3x the amount of her breathing medication!! They were nice and helpful.

I have never had to call (knock on wood) but my girlfriend did because her 18mo ate more then a pea size of her big Sissy's toothpaste

I go back and forth on whether it should be cut or not...I love those Mr. Yuck stickers...

I haven't had to call yet, but I have no doubt there will be some time in my future where I will need to call. I don't like the thought of CA cutting it completely, it seems like a pretty important service to me.

Yup, thrice. Once was because she squeezed a hydrocortisone tube and I didn't know if she'd eaten any, once because she started sucking on the toothpaste tube, and once because she stuck her finger in the dishwasher dispenser for the jet dry stuff (and we never even use the stuff but of course THAT DAY we'd gotten a free sample so there was some in there). All three times they very kindly and professionally told me not to worry.

Yes, and I won't call them again. I won't go into details, but I have my reasons.

My DD found a Claritin in my old purse when she was like 18 months and ate some of it. I called and they told me of all the things she could have eaten that was the best because they are mild. She ended up being fine, but it was reassuring.
