Tricia gave us a bad scare today, when we found a small piece of plastic stuck on her tongue in her mouth.
It started this evening not long after her milk when she gagged and threw up. After changing her, i found that she kept making this choking sound and was using her fingers to dig in her mouth. I thought the gagging was due to her pushing her finger too far in.
When i put her to bed, she was super fussy and even cried, she kept drooling and spitting out tons of saliva and i had to change her the 2nd time tonight. We really started to think that something was not right when she cried really loud when i tried to let her lie down. Even when i latched her, she refused to drink and kept gagging. We then took a torch and look inside and mouth and that was when i saw a clear piece of small plastic. I wasn't sure initially and Daddy thought it was her saliva playing tricks on my eyes. We continued to probe with the touch and finally saw the plastic clearly. I gently probe it and it came our with my fingers. Immediately, we could see that she was visibly much better. Its super puzzling how come the plastic landed up in her mouth. I guess we need to inspect her play pen closely now to check for any more loose pieces of plastic.
Tricia is a super happy baby and only when she is in pain or in distress will she cry really badly. I am sure it was really uncomfortable for her which was why she cried so badly early. Anyway my baby is all happy now and promptly fell asleep after lying her down in her cot.
