Need some input mama's.... - Cloth Diapers & Parenting Community

My 6 month old was crawling around while I was cleaning, and within a short time managed to get a hold of a washable marker and chew on the ink end.

Do I need to call poison control/ take her to ER? Or is this not a concern?

What brand is it? Most washable markers (maybe all, I'm not sure of the laws) are non-toxic. They are designed for children and it is assumed that they will wind up on skin and possibly ingested. I don't think you need to worry about poison control.
