A few weeks ago, we had a very terrifying situation arise. My 6 month old was in her bouncer and I walked out of the room for a minute to use the bathroom. In the time I was gone, my 2 year old found jet dri (dishwasher stuff to remove spots) and poured it all over the baby. She thought she was giving the baby a bath. I had to scrub the baby down and rush her to the ER where they had to flush her eyes several times and wanted to sedate her but I wasnt going to let that happen unless absolutely necessary. She had a rash all over her body from the chemical and scratches in her eyes that required antibiotic ointment. The screams that came from my little girl terrified me. I thought that all of my cleaners were out of reach but little children are smart and my daughter figured out how to make "steps" to get to them.
Please make sure that you keep ALL cleaners in a safe place, out of sight or reach for children. The situation could have been A LOT worse if I hadnt reacted the way I did. The doctors said the quick response and cleaning her body and eyes may have saved her from hospitalization. I am begging all of you to please make sure that your kids absolutely can not get hold of cleaners.
