My husband and I were out of the livingroom for a minute and my son found his was across the room, by rolling and scooching, and rolled into our electric heater and burnt his hand :( its about the size of a quarter.. We put ice on it and tried to put burn cream and bandaid on it but he keeps taking it off.. I feel horrible that it happened and I wasn't there watching him :(

    Maybe @ashleyfew will know what to do! Poor baby, they make cool touch heaters

    Oh dear, poor little man! Maybe look at getting a heater surround/screen type thing for when he is rolling around. And don't worry, unfortunately we can't watch them 24/7 however hard we try (*)

    The nipple cream for breast feeding is really good for Burns also, poor baby, they really move sometimes before you can even see it

    I've heard that neosporin or anything creamy or greasy will seal the burn, lock in heat and make the burn worse. I could be wrong though.

    Aloe Vera... Its safe if he gets it in his mouth and it helps with burns... Dont fret it happens but do get a cover around the heater and check for other 'in arms reach' dangers... Crawling, walking and rolling gets em in all kinda dangers!! Lol...

    Yes Aloe is great. Especially if u know someone who has a plant, get it strait out of the stalk. My son burnt his hand & it kept it from ever blistering up.

    Things like that have happened to every mum. We cant watch them 24/7. When my son was a year old a plate fell on his head... Bled like a war wound but was only a tiny cut... I felt bad for months

    A&D gets rid of the burn and pain. Me and my mom both got burned cooking not long back and it worked best.
