Panicking - burst breast pad

Hi everyone, I’m in a bit of a state. I have a 7-month-old and was just breastfeeding him when I realized my lillets breast pad had rolled up and stuck to my skin. When I pulled it off, the pad was open.

It was a relatively fresh pad (only on for about 2 hours) so it wasn't wet, but I found some dry, powdery stuff under my breast and areola. I'm terrified my baby might have swallowed or inhaled some of the internal stuffing while he was latched. I checked his mouth and couldn't see anything, and he seems fine, but I can't stop worrying. Has this happened to anyone else? I know they’re non toxic but still…

I have called 111 and waiting on a call back
