I gave her food that was too hot

[Beener]

Awww. I bet most of us have done this. When I did, I just gave Emmy water as quickly as possible and she got over it just fine. I mean, it wasn't hot enough to blister or anything, right? It probably just shocked her.

[rjamz]

Awwwww, I've done that too.

Don't worry, she's probably already forgotten

[carawestt]

Don't feel bad, I've been there too! Like Beener said, she was probably just shocked rather than hurt.

[robinsparkles430]

I've done this. He started shaking and crying as he tried to pull it out of his mouth. I felt horrible!

[imimahoney]

Aw, don't feel bad. She won't remember tomorrow and it happens all the time.

[jenbelle]

Did it with scrambled eggs. He flipped his shit, but quickly forgot. So sorry it happened!

[SteelCity44]

I've done this more than I'd like to admit, but there are times where he's wigging out, and I feel the food, and it's barely "warm." Sometimes it's just a temp difference shock. He did stick his hand in steaming mashed potatoes, and it did temporarily blister. Thanks Nana. (Insert angry face that I don't know the code for offhand.)

Sorry that you feel bad.

I've done it too so sad! She'll be okay though!

[joyhart02]

I have done this too with both children.

[kdrake8]

I did this to Mila when she was like 8 months old too hot mashed potatoes. She screamed and tried to scrape them out of her mouth. Then cried.

((Tamb)) she is ok! You're a great mom. Don't even worry. I bet most of us have done it.

[The Foozzler]

I've done it a few times. Kids don't seem to have the patience for food to cool. I was scared it would keep him from wanting that food again, but nope. All was soon forgotten. Don't worry!

[TrudyCampbell]

Aw, don't beat yourself up. These things happen! She's already forgotten all about it.

[silverjm]

I did this last week. Poor kid looked so shocked, and I felt awful. I gave him some cold water and once he calmed down he finished his dinner. I was worried he wouldn't want to eat afterwards, but he was fine.

[irish625]

Chiming in that I've done this too. Don't feel bad, I'm sure she's forgotten already.

[helicase]

I've done the same thing. We were visiting MH's grandmother and I fed T piping hot green beans. I'm sure grandma was judging the shit out of me.

It happens! She'll never remember it.

[vthokie]

I've done this on many occasions. As a result, my child eats barely warm food most of the time because I put it in the freezer to cool it off. She's going to be amazed one day when she eats food that is actually a normal temperature.

[angiekay84]

Totally have done this, at least twice. It totally sucks and I felt terrible. .

[laurack]

Awww I'm sure she's forgotten already!

I've done this, she made a face and started coughing so I thought she was choking but she wasn't she was just confused by the hot food I suppose. Then for a few minutes she kept putting her hand in her mouth and crying, sticking tongue out and crying etc. I felt horrible. I cried. After about five minutes she seemed to forget all about it.

Another time I put a hot oven tray on a table low enough for her to touch and she did and then cried.

Oh these things make us feel terrible but we are all human and make mistakes! Don't beat yourself up!

[claralou]

Aww, we've all been there.

[thedahliharpa]

I know that expression, it's the worst but she's ok and you won't feel this intensely guilty after some time passes.

[nilex0102]

It has happened to me with both kids as well. She will be fine, promise.

[heyjojo]

Oh yeah, I've done that a couple times accidentally and it always breaks my heart to see that shocked/scared/hurt face the first time it happened with a hot spot inside a quesadilla and I swear for the rest of his meals that day he would gently touch it to his mouth first, before taking a bite. He quickly got over it though. Such is life!

[eav2c]

I've totally done this and felt like a huge asshole but I can confirm my kid still loves me I bet J has already forgotten!
