Is The Smell Of Burnt Cling Wrap Harmful To 3 Month Old?

I accidentally burnt a small piece of cling wrap on my slow cooker. My 3mo baby was close by. Will the smell of this be harmful? I didn t realise where it was or what it was coming from, by the time I realised it was completely burnt/disintegrated. My baby was about 1--2 metres away from it. The piece was around the size f a 20cent piece.

hi..
nothing much to worry about it. burning cling wrap may produce small amount of carbon monoxide. carbon monoxide causes problem in oxygenation only when it is inhaled in large quantity. example: fire accidents in a closed room.

so nothing to worry about your child health.
