Pediatrician Questions Poisoning

Is it okay if my baby has swallowed Vaseline?

Yesterday evening, my daughter ate up almost half bottle of Vaseline. I am not sure if it is a cause of concern, but she has been complaining of a stomach ache for the past hour or so. There's no clear answer that I can find online, do you think I should take her for a check up?

She may have another reason for the stomach ache than the vasoline. She would need to be checked if it persists
Vaseline is inert and not toxic. Clean the mouth with water and give water. Watch for any symptoms like vomiting.
I believe it is non-toxic. I would call poison control to be sure. I would get seen by your doctor
