Could Swallowing Piece Of Plastic Wrap Effect Intestine?
My 9 month old daughter swallowed a small piece of plastic wrap from a granola bar wrapper. She did have the choking reflex and did spit up, but none of the plastic wrapper came out. Will it damage her intestines or will it damage or hurt her when it does come out in her poop?

Hi
Welcome to the HCM
I understand your concerns but don't worry. It seems that your daughter has swallowed the plastic wrap. Since it is non digestible so in most such cases it comes out in poops in the following days.
It won't harm her but be careful in future. Hopefully this will help you. I would be happy to help you in any further questions.
Take care
