Vomiting in Infants

Could your baby have accidentally swallowed something poisonous, such as a plant or medicine? Could he have inhaled some kind of toxic fumes or chemicals?

Yes, my baby may have eaten or inhaled something poisonous.

No, my baby didn't eat or inhale anything that was poisonous.
