If I suspect my baby had swallowed blu tack, how do I check? Any symptoms to look out for? Is it life threatening to swallow blu tack?

I would just take the LO to the doctor. I actually Googled the composition of blu tack and it says, "The composition of Blu Tack is a manufacturing secret but is described as a synthetic rubber compound without hazardous properties under normal conditions. It can be swallowed without harm and is noncarcinogenic. It is non-soluble and is denser than water." Although it says it's not harmful, I would take them in for a check up.

Observe baby's poo and see if anything comes out. If you are concern, you can bring your baby to see GP or emergency department. Inform doctor what time did baby eat and what has been done and how is baby's behaviour thus far.

Personally I would bring my baby to see a Dr but if your baby doesn't look uncomfortable, plays and eats well then it should be fine(:

How much of Blu tack was swallowed? If it’s a small amount, it would come out of his poop. It should be ok

Monitor for any uncomforty and allergies, as long not battery still can monitor thru poo.

Did you bring your baby to see the doctor yet? I hope everything is fine with your lo

Bring your baby to a doctor to see if he can check for it.
