I was having my weekly glass of wine and turned my back away from my baby to check on my older daughter. When I looked back my baby had the glass taking a big drink. It looked like an inch was gone, but some was on the floor. This just happened, should I get her to throw up?

Quickly, get her some cheese
All kidding aside, I don't think you need to worry but you might want to give her some water or milk to dilute the acidity in her stomach.

CALL POISON CONTROL!! She is likely fine, but NO ONE on here is going to be able to accurately determine for you how much wine your baby may have injested, nor do you indicate her age or weight, which are the things that ultimately determine if she is OK. I had to call three times with my middle daughter - I was sure they had my picture on the wall as a child abuser, but they don't:) Once she chewed on a dish detergent cube, once she ate a bunch of Flintstones vitamins and once she started eating some berries off a bush in my Mother in Law's back yard while four adults were just a few feet away. By the grace of God, all three times she turned out to be completely unharmed! Any parent knows that what happened to you can easily happen to any of us - you are not a bad Mom, but please call to get an expert assessment of the situation.

I don't keep alcohol in the house anymore just for this reason. My little girl gets into everything!! She should be fine. It may cause a little gas or indigestion depending on how much she drank. It might also cause slight diarrhea. I know when my 2 year old eats a lot of grapes and has runny poo the next day.

A little bit of wine won't hurt her. If she throws it up, fine, but if not I wouldn't worry.
When I was a kid my parents never drank. But we had a half-full bottle of whiskey in a cupboard in the kitchen, and once I asked my mom what it was for. She said that when I was teething I had a lot of trouble, so the doctor (a relative of ours, and a very good doctor!) told her to rub whiskey on my gums. She said I would get 'drunk' and laugh a lot. The Dr. said it wouldn't hurt me to swallow a little. She went through about 1/3 of the bottle! The rest we gave away when we moved out of the house when I was eleven.

I think you should ask a pediatrician. But, kids in Europe drink watered down wine all the time. And, if knowing how babies spill more than they drink I would think the baby should be okay in the long run. But, call just to be sure.

She'll be fine, just probably a little sleepy. Just make sure you don't turn your back on your glass of wine and baby ever again!

Don't worry. As long as it is not a full glass it will be ok. A sip of wine will not shut down essential organs in your infant. Please do not fret, but if you are still not satisfied, you need to call poison control. they will be able to give you better suggestions on situations like this.

Don't stress too much... its happened to most of us :)
How old is your bub.. I think that maybe you could try and get bub to eat and drink so there is also something else in her/his tummy to assist with the absorption.
Keep a good eye on bub & if you notice anything abnormal maybe you could ring the hospitial for some advice.
But honestly.. it has happened to most of us, dont feel too bad.
