There were a few pcs left in the box which I kept in the under-basket of the stroller.. I found her chewing one (or 2) which I took away but the box was empty!! Sad she must have swallowed about 2-3 pcs... Are there any dangers that will follow?? Any stomach issues??

My youngest has been swallowing gum for like a year now and he is 2 1/2. Nothing happened so far. He forgets to spit it out many times. Not to worry! unless there is something I don't know, but we used to scare each other saying that if you swallow gum it'll take 7 years to go through the intestines. but not true ;o).

The biggest danger is choking. If it went down okay she'll be okay. It'll probably come out soon.
