Being a parent comes with its fair share of worry and fear. It\u2019s all too common to feel a little panic the first time your little one falls, bumps their head, or tries to eat something they shouldn\u2019t, and rightly so \u2014 it\u2019s terrifying to think about your little one getting hurt.<\/span>It gets easier after your first (or so I\u2019m told) but worrying is always just part of the territory.<\/span>When mom-of-two Darian Depreta was playing with her daughter, Bella, and noticed something strange in Bella\u2019s mouth, she was immediately concerned about her baby girl\u2019s health.<\/span>Bella had an unusually large, circular, brown spot tucked up into the roof of her mouth. First, Depreta tried to wipe it off. But when it didn\u2019t move, she took Bella to the doctor.<\/span>They met with a nurse practitioner. She couldn\u2019t determine what the mark was or what caused it, so she consulted with other doctors on staff.<\/span>Depreta was told that it was likely a birthmark and Bella would need to see a specialist \u2014 actually, two specialists.<\/span>
\n<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: Facebook\/Darian Depreta<\/span>This was not an acceptable response to Depreta.<\/span>\u201cI\u2019m now being told that my daughter will be set up with 2 specialists,\u201d she wrote in a Facebook post<\/a>.<\/span>Depreta was firm in her insistence that the spot was not<\/em> a birthmark. So the NP took a second look at the roof of Bella\u2019s mouth.<\/span>\u201cI point out it looks a little white on the side and she really gets in there trying to scrape it,\u201d Darian wrote.<\/span>That\u2019s when the mystery of the spot was solved: Bella had a piece of cardboard stuck to the roof of her mouth!<\/span>
\n<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: Facebook\/Darian Depreta<\/span>\u201cI can never show my face in that office again. I cried\/laughed for a solid 5 minutes straight,\u201d she wrote.<\/span>Turns out, Bella had been chewing on a cardboard box briefly before mom snatched it away from her. Although Depreta had checked her mouth for small pieces, apparently one had gotten stuck up in there.<\/span>She was a super-relieved mama after finding out it was cardboard and not some crazy infection \u2014 but she also felt a mix of emotions. And, of course, some readers of her post were quick to judge her.<\/span>
\n<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: Facebook\/Darian Depreta<\/span>\u201cYes she could have choked on it and I\u2019m thanking God she did not,\u201d she wrote. \u201cThe only reason it was posted was because after crying, panicking, and trying to figure out what it was (the doctors didn\u2019t even know), she was ok.\u201d<\/span>\u201cThe laugh was after the storm of it all,\u201d she added.<\/span>\u201cAnd I don\u2019t \u201clet\u201d my baby chew on cardboard. She\u2019s teething and tries to chew on EVERYTHING.\u201d<\/span>Every parent understands the dangers and frustrations of teething. Little ones try to put anything and everything in their mouths, and no matter how close an eye we keep on them, sometimes things like this happen. Thankfully, Bella was okay in the end.<\/span>
\n<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: Facebook\/Darian Depreta<\/span>\u201cShe just so happened to find a box while I was loading the dishwasher, which I of course took off of her right away,\u201d Depreta wrote. \u201cI just didn\u2019t realize a piece got stuck up there. I checked her mouth for small pieces right away.\u201d<\/span>We understand, mama, and we\u2019re glad that Bella is doing great and that you can laugh about it now. It must have been so scary at first!<\/span>What\u2019s the strangest thing your child has ever tried to put in their mouth?
