If your baby just ate a little chocolate, you should be okay. My little guy, piggy that he is, dug into my book-bag and ate one of those HUGE milk chocolate bars, like over a cup full of chocolate. I found him in the process and induced vomiting. I thought he vomited lots of chocolate, most of the chocolate, but it wasn't enough. The results were horrible. His little legs trembled, he was sleeping too deeply. After 24 hours he was almost unresponsive, he would look up if I flicked his eyelashes, and that was about it. He was squeaking as he breathed - very irregularly and shallowly. He ended up at the hospital for four days, IV, lots of different meds, his little gums looked like the blood would just come through the skin. It was about two weeks before he was back to normal. He still has spells where his breathing isn't normal. That said, remember he ate one of those very large bars, about 8 inches by 4 inches by 1/2 inch thick.

Call your vet, or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435. Milk chocolate is one of the least toxic chocolates, but still poses a danger.
