Is it normal for a newborn to have peeling lips?

Generally speaking, newborns will face the phenomenon of frequent breastfeeding. If the mother does not control the time interval between breastfeeding at this time, the newborn's mouth will cause blisters and peeling due to excessive wear and tear of the nipple. This generally does not cause pain. The mother only needs to pay attention to extending the time interval appropriately in the future, so that the phenomenon of lip peeling will naturally be alleviated. It should also be noted that peeling of the newborn's lips does not rule out the possibility of infection.

The reason for the peeling of newborn babies' lips is that newborn babies feed frequently and for relatively long periods of time, and the skin on their lips will peel due to being soaked in milk for a long time. There is no pain when the baby's lips peel due to milk immersion. However, parents need to pay attention that if the baby's lips continue to peel and he keeps crying, it should be paid attention.

Newborn babies do not have enough sucking power, so each feeding takes a long time. At this time, the new mother should strictly control the baby's feeding time, each feeding time should not exceed 10 minutes, and the baby's lips should be cleaned after each feeding. New mothers should control the number of times they feed their babies, and it is best not to exceed 8 times a day. If your baby has a large appetite, you can make appropriate adjustments or seek expert guidance. Many mothers like to let their babies fall asleep with the nipple in their mouth, which can cause serious damage to the baby's lip skin. New mothers should correct the bad habit of letting their babies fall asleep with nipples in their mouths to reduce the burden on their babies' lips. In winter, parents should also let their babies drink more water, maintain the indoor humidity and air circulation, and remember to use baby-specific skin care products after washing the baby's face, so as to keep the baby's face tender and smooth.

In addition, babies born in autumn and winter may have dry and peeling lips due to the drier climate and delicate lips caused by their inability to adapt to the environment. At this time, mothers can apply moisturizing oil on their children's lips. It should also be noted that in the autumn and winter seasons, children should not be bathed frequently, and the water temperature should not be too hot during bathing.
