One Sydney family should be planning a wedding. Instead, they’re by their baby’s hospital bed.
Meet baby Sophie. She’s just 20 months old, and she has serious burns all over her body.
Little Sophie was exploring her Sydney family home earlier this week when she pulled a fresh cup of tea down from the bench. The scalding hot drink poured all over her tiny body, burning her delicate skin.
Sophie was rushed to hospital, where she underwent the first of many surgeries yesterday. She now faces months of further surgeries and costly skin grafts, according to Facebook group Central Coast Mums.

Take out Private Health Insurance-then you won't have to beg people for money when you or the children need to go to hospital.
I have had Private Health Cover since 1990 and I don't know where I would be without it.
Even now,as a pensioner,I scrimp and save and go without something to pay for it.
It really is peace of mind!
My brother was only 10 months old when he pulled a whole teapot of boiling water on himself by tugging on a tablecloth. He was wearing a terry toweling suit and it acted as a hot compress. He nearly died on the 3 hour drive to the nearest hospital and during his first night in ICU. He was hospitalised for 3 MONTHS! Extensive scarring for life.
Tablecloths are the devil around small children.
