Jamie burned her hand last night.

Jamie was at my Grandma's house and burned her hand on the lightbulb in the lamp. She cried for three straight hours. Her Middle finger has a blister at the bottom of her finger and it is still red on the middle of her finger. She slept last night with a bag of ice on her hand and this morning she was still favoring her hand. I can already tell this is going to be a fun day

Toothpaste? I've never heard that, but interesting to know!

How's she feeling now?

She was a crab all morning. After she took a nap this afternoon she started acting more like herself. She still thinks she needs ice for her boo-boos. She at least played for a little while without babying her hand.

How big is the blister? Josh recently burned his hand pretty bad. We had to put burn cream on it for a few weeks and bandage it. I hope her burn isn't terrible and heals quickly.

And what's with toothpaste? Sounds like it would burn.

Poor Jamie

I'm sorry to hear that she hurt her little hand. I hope tomorrow it feels much better!!! Please KUP!

I too have never heard of the toothpaste on a burn?

Poor babe.

It was about 1/2 inch across the blister. It is slowly shrinking down. I never heard of using toothpaste before. I have heard of vasoline, butter, ice in salt water but never toothpaste.

Poor Jamie. We use silvidine cream (sp?). It's cream with silver in it. Antibacterial and will stop a burn in it's tracks. I burn myself cooking and use it and 2 hours later you wouldn't even know you were burned. I think all parents should get some.

Toothpaste doesn't burn! I use it whenever I burn myself cooking (which is quite often since I'm a clutz) and it takes away the burning sting and the redness. I'm surprised no one else has heard of it ...

I'll have to remember that the next time I am cooking
