Hot water heaters should be turned down to 105 degrees. Tap water can cause serious burns. We once responded to a two year old girl with sheets of skin falling off of her legs. She did not know what was wrong when her legs started to burn from the water faucet. Clothing can burn rapidly and cause severe burns.
Constant supervision is needed when kids are near fireplaces, barbecues or any open flame.
Children's Sleepware is required by law to be flame resistant. However, improper washing can greatly reduce the amount of protection. Do not wash sleepware using either chlorine bleach or fabric softener. Keep it emersed for three minutes. Then cover the burn with a sterile dressing or clean sheets and seek medical attention.
