So I totally deserve getting made fun of for this.
I just drank a crap ton of soap. I filled my aluminum water bottle with water and chugged it. About half way through I realized it tasted funny and stopped......and bubbles started coming out the top. I rinsed it and there was a ton of soap in there. I think my inlaws were trying to help by cleaning it, and got distracted and never rinsed it out.
Yes, I realize I'm an idiot.
On the back of the soap, it says "if swallowed, dilute by drinking a glass of water." I did that. I still feel a bit queasy (sp?)
So, my question, on top of this ridiculous confesion, is do you think its ok to BF? I realize I"m probably worrying over nothing, but I figured I'd ask. I'm basically looking more for reassurance than anything else.
Re: Really really weird question
I think you're fine. At first when I read that you drank a crap-ton of soap I thought you meant you willingly drank that, LOL.
But yea, I think as long as you're feeling okay you should be fine.
haha. Im now intrigued to know what that would feel like.
oh no! yuck!
i think you can get diarrhea from ingesting soap, so be careful. you don't want to get dehydrated. i would drink lots of water.
update us on what you find out.
I think I'm going to call my uncle who's a pedi and see what he thinks JIC.
I'll let you all know how it goes.
I wonder if kellymom has a page on drinking soap?
I think it would probably be fine.
ha! I should call dawn and ask if their product is BF compatible

I bet you're fine. If it's okay to BF while sick, and if you get food poisoning, then I doubt that some soap is going to have a worse affect on your system than that.
Did the bottle say anything about calling poison control if ingested? If all it said was to drink some water, then I would worry more about an upset stomach than any affect on BFing!

lol
i'd be pretty mad at my in-laws for soaping up my water bottle like that... even though it was unintentional
keep us posted - i really want to know what your pedi uncle says about this.
I just laughed so hard I work LO up while she is nursing to fall back asleep. Fart bubbles.
I was going to suggest poison control. They are great. I have had to call them several times myself.
update:
after he stopped laughing, he said hwas pretty sure I'd be a-ok.
I feel fine now
glad it turned out ok.
it still makes me laugh though
