1. The number is 1-800-222-1222. If you dial 1-800-222-1212 you have to be 18 and the cost is $.69 to $3.00 a minute.
2. Calcium bonds to fluoride and helps get rid of any excess which may have been ingested when your kid gets a hold of an almost empty travel toothpaste tube you keep in the downstairs bathroom so you can brush your teeth conveniently without dragging everyone upstairs to the real bathroom. So, milk after toothpaste is recommended.
3. Your body treats the ingredients in sunscreen like apsirin, so if your kid sprays some neutragena cooling mist sunscreen into his mouth don't give him aspirin. Not that you would give your kid aspirin anyway, but just in case you were considering it after the mouth spritz, don't. Also, for a 21 lb kiddo, three teaspoons would need to be ingested before it reaches a toxic level. At smaller doses it can cause gastro-intestinal upset, but doesn't always, I found.
4. Calling Poison Control two times in two days makes you feel like a terrible mother.

Jake drank a bottle of cough syrup once so I thought it would be best to make him puke it up but it turns out that's the wrong thing to do because your fingernail down his throat could scratch him and then the puke/syrup could directly enter his bloodstream
