dear mom, no you do not need to go to the ER, you did the right thing by cleansing with water on your baby eyes.
just rinse it out and call you doctor to make sure everything is fine..


not sure if its true or not but one of the doctors that my husbands works with tolds us not to use baby powder cuz the powder gets up there noise or in there mouth and into there lungs and they can even chok on it ...and isnt good for them sooo all i use now is cream...best of luck though..
Mine did that, too. He dumped the open bottle over his face and even swallowed some.





But don't worry! Most baby powders are cornstarch based and are non-toxic. Once you flush her eye with water she should be fine. Baby powder just reduces moisture so it'll dry her eye out a bit...that's all.





If your powder is talc-based (unlikely) than you should see a doctor immediately. Just check the ingredients label.





Hope that helps.
As long you risned her eye with water its okay. But keep an eye on it, to make it doens't get red or anything,.
She should be alright since you rinsed it with water. Just keep an eye on it.
thrisha is right about the chocking hazard powder can coat the inside of her lungs and cause them to colapes so be real careful
No, just keep an eye on it and make sure you got it all out. If her eye becomes red and or puffy and irritated then call your pediatrician, the ER is not needed.
If you rinsed her eye thouroughly, it should be ok. Just check with your doctor to ease your mind. Also, I was told that baby powder is totally unnecessary, so you might want to consider not using it anymore.

I would say as long as the water got it all out you should be ok...but if you notice in a few hrs the redness doesnt go away I would call the nurse at your dr's office and see what they advise!
