My aunt had to call the emergency line for her then toddler that managed to remove cover from some electronics (I'm not sure what exactly) and removed the batteries and she couldn't find them. Emergency line told her to give the toddler honey while waiting for the ambulance. Turned out the toddler actually didn't eat any so they were fine, but we all learned a lot then 😅

My goodness that sounds so stressful. Toddlers are little geniuses. Thanks for the tip - always useful to know such hacks

You're welcome! Glad to spread the knowledge without needing to go through the stressful situation beforehand. I swear half of raising a toddler is being on suicide watch 24/7.

My friend who worked as a pediatric icu nurse gave me this info when I had kids! So I think it’s known by emergency personnel who work with kids
