  • When the Milk is Too Hot for Baby


    My friends hire a babysitter for their two daughters. The babysitter is awesome, but recently she made a big booboo.

    I think she heated up the baby's milk bottle too much. When she was about to go feed the baby, a drop of the milk fell on the baby's cheek and she yelped in pain as it gave her skin a slight burn. The baby was rushed to the hospital with minor burns on her cheek and lip. The babysitter felt horrible for forgetting to check the temperature of the milk before she fed the baby.

    Has this ever happened to your baby?

    Wow, that had to be REALLY HOT!  That is just nuts.  Common sense people.  Always test it first. 
    I haven't had that happen (breastfeed), but the times we have supplemented, I've always used room temperature water to mix the formula (or room temperature breastmilk bag).  I always rather it be a lil' cooler than too warm and my babies have never complained. 

  • AmistadBaby@xanga

    If it was that hot, wouldn't the babysitter have felt it through the bottle? That's insane.

  • Riftsong@xanga

    Lucky it was the baby's cheek and not her throat.  We use hot tap water to warm our bottles when we use them, so no danger of overheating here.

  • kieri126@xanga

    this happened to me when I was a baby. and it was also the last time my father prepared the bottle. my mother couldnt trust him to do anything right...lol.


    he was tired went to go make me a bottle. heated it way to much. fed me. without checking it first.


    yeah...but Im ok and of course I dont remember it! lol...its no big deal.

  • patrickspeaches@xanga

    That is why I used room temp. water and powder formula after I had to stop breastfeeding. My daughter never complained. I would never use a micro to heat a bottle!!

  • filtered_sunlight

    Eeep. No! Of course, we are nursing and if we use pre-pumped milk, we just let it come to room temperature/warm it in the bag between our hands if we're in a real pinch. This is however, why I'm hesitant to leave Megan with someone other than myself or Tim; they might be the greatest person in the world, but at the end of the day, she's not their baby so they're just not going to the same precautions that we would.

  • sweeteilatan@xanga

    I've never had this problem either. I heated my daughters bottle for the first month or 2 and then it was all room temperature. She's been with baby sitters a few times and the only thing that bugged me was her god fathers gf was giving her water instead of the formula with one of her bottles. 

  • starfall56@xanga

    Nope.  My son likes his formula cold... so I've never had to worry about that.

    The HOSPITAL?  For a freakin' DROP of hot milk??  Some people are sooooo over-paranoid.  Sheesh...

  • Iliefor_only_you@xanga

    @averyswife@xanga - Yeah, this story does sound a little ridiculous. I would have never been brought to the hospital for that. Actually, I was only ever sent to the hospital from school. Then again, my cousins and I all got knocked around as kids...by each other...and we were all fine.
    I kind of think some parents are turning their kids into little sissies. I work in the babysitting/daycare part of the gym once in a while. Some of the little boys are straight up tanks while others just cry. Blame the parenting.
    I guess it depends on how old the child was at the time of the burn. But still. The hospital? Call the pediatrician in the morning.

  • JJPrint3rd@xanga

    what did the sitter do? microwave the bottle?
    This actually happened to a friend of mine who was using glass bottles. The sitter put the bottle in the microwave, then gave it to the baby. But she rested the bottle on the baby's arm for a moment and the glass burned the baby.
    I just put our bottles in a container of hot water for a couple of minutes and that is all. But this is a lot of the reason why we do not have microwaves or bottle warmers in the house.
