Luckily, I was close to her when she lifted the bottle to her mouth and drank a little. She cried in a chocked voice. I looked at the bottle and was horrified to find that it contained a cleaning chemical. I, at once, put my index finger into her mouth and made her vomit. Then, I called the doctor and told him about what had happened and what I had done. He told me not to worry and that she would be alright. Since that time, the poor little girl was always careful when she wanted to drink anything from a bottle. I advised my wife to keep all the chemicals and medicines away from children.
