I suspect that my 9 month old daughter swallowed a hair band (small clear band). She is doing very well. What should I do?

9 month old baby in perfect health. She doesn't seem to be bothered at all. I am not sure if she will swallow the rubber band. If she did swallow it, it was in the early afternoon, since then she has had 2 bottles and supper without any problem.

Good evening ma'am,

There is no need to worry. If she swallowed it, it should come out in the stool today or tomorrow.

Have you seen it pass?

Thank you for your response.

No I didn't see it go through his stool, but I didn't analyze them either.

I understand :)

Good day,
