Accidentally burned my baby
My LO is 11 months old and super clingy, so I literally have to carry her around all the time, even while cooking. Yesterday I was making egg for myself and put her down near my legs for seconds because I needed both hands. She started crying to be picked up and suddenly some oil splashed onto her face and my legs. 😭 She has tiny first and second degree burns on her face. We rushed to the doctor immediately and got ointments/gels and everything, and they said it should heal.
Thankfully she’s ok. She’s back to her normal self but I honestly cannot stop crying or replaying the moment in my head. I feel so guilty and miserable. I can’t even look at her face without feeling horrible that this happened because of me. I’m struggling mentally and can’t even get myself to sleep properly thinking about it. I keep worrying if she will be left with scars and I can’t stop overthinking it.
I know accidents happen but right now I genuinely can’t forgive myself. Has any other mom gone through something similar with burns or kitchen accidents? Did it heal okay?
