I don't think it is harmfull unless it is toxic. Candels are made of wax and so are crayons and babies always eat crayons. your baby will probably be pooping colors for a while.
Good Luck :)

Contact the Poison Control Center. Do what they say. Look at the label of the candle or look it up on the internet, if it's toxic, take her to the ER. If not, still contact the PCC.

It depends on it's contents.
You need to call information and get the national posion control company.
Post it by each of your phones, so that next time this happens. you can quickly call.
Or if your babys doctor has a weekend on call line, call him.
Call the posion control place ASSAP and if you can, have in your hand the list of contents of the candle
They can give you advice and they can send you to the ER if they think you need to.
Sometimes they have a parent give a child a piece of bread or some milk.
Do you have any syrup of Epiticat (not sure how to spell it) on hand. It makes a baby throw up.But don't use this on just any ingestion of stuff, cuz if baby swallowed bleach, you sure don't want to make baby throw it up or his mouth and esophagus will be burnt a second time.

If it is a scented citronella (can't spell that) candle maybe, but if it is just a regular one I am sure she would be fine. It you are worried about it call the ER and ask them.

I would take her to the ER. By the time someone at poison control answers the phone the baby could be dead. Just go.

you can call your ER and ask if you need to bring her in.
that's going to be a painful bm, though. poor thing.
