Treat a Baby Burn - Get your baby to a comfortable, secure location if he is burned. Quickly assess the severity of the burn. Unless you can be positive it is only a minor burn, call 911 or rush your baby to the emergency room. According to Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, a first-degree burn is typically red, sore, and sensitive to the touch. First-degree burns do not blister and do not leave a scar.
Treat a first-degree burn by submerging the burned skin in cool water, then use a cool cloth or compress on the burn, keeping it in place for 10 or 15 minutes. Call your doctor or speak to the physician on duty in the emergency room, and ask about giving your baby acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Do not give your baby aspirin because it can cause the deadly disease Reye's syndrome.
