Hot water makes the biggest burns in children. Parents need to be careful of the dangers to children of everyday things in the home. The most dangerous time for babies to burn themselves is from nine months of age. At this time, babies begin climbing and walking. But babies do not know what is dangerous and what is not, and they are interested in everything in the room, so they touch everything with their hands. 

Almost 75% of children in hospital for burns were under the age of five, and most burns happen to one-year-olds. Most of the burns were because the children touched a hot drink on top of themselves. Any hot drink could burn a baby, even the hot drink is 15 minutes already. This is because a baby's skin is much thinner than a man’s, so it is easier to burn. Parents have to keep hot drinks out of small children.
