DS is 11 months old, Had a cup of tea on the coffee table and he knocked it over, it fell away from him but his hands went into to and a bit went on his chest.

I held his hands in cold water and rubbed water on his chest, His hands and his chest are now covered in sudo cream.

His hands look okay and his chest has got a red bit on it.

PLEASE i need advice, Help me.

What do i do?

:( I'm such a terrible Mum, I just dont know what else to do.

He is now splashing in the cold water.

Imnot - amstillsexy was saying that an injury from hot water is known as a scald, it's a matter of words and meanings not a difference between the physical effects they have.

I think she is referring to when AmIStill said that once it has milk in and us freshly made it's not too hot.

OP, you're not a bad mum. It was an accident and you're looking after your baby really well. Don't be too hard on yourself, we're all just trying our best Smile

My DD ended up with burns dressings for a couple of weeks - or scald dressings -
I used to have only a splash of milk in my tea now I have it milky!!
A and E said tea can and does scald they asked me if I had sugar in it - I laughed but this does make a difference they said??
