What to do if baby's lips are cracked

After birth, newborn babies adapt to the nature gradually. They may catch colds, have fevers and other problems during their growth. No matter how big or small the problem is, mothers are most worried about it. Through our understanding and discovery, many newborn babies will have cracked lips, and in severe cases, they may suffer from bleeding, inability to eat and other problems. What's going on when my baby's lips are cracked? So what should you do if your baby’s lips are cracked? Next, let’s take a look at some of the little common sense that we have accumulated!

Cracks on the lips of newborn babies are usually caused by viral infection or improper diet, such as herpes, pharyngitis, vitamin B deficiency, etc. It may also be that the environment is too dry and there is not enough water.

Mother Care

Hydration:

Newborn babies have a great demand for water. In hot or dry seasons, new mothers need to supplement a certain amount of water for their babies in addition to daily breastfeeding. New mothers should replenish their babies with no less than 100 ml of water every day.

Moisturizing lips:

If the baby's lips are chapped, the new mother can wipe the baby's lips frequently with a wet cotton ball, or apply some glycerin to the baby to keep the baby's lips moist.

Reasonable temperature:

If the baby's lips become chapped, the new mother can lower the temperature of the water appropriately. Water that is too hot or too cold will increase the baby's pain.

Maintain indoor humidity:

A dry air environment can easily cause baby's lip cracks, so new mothers can hang a thermometer and hygrometer in the baby's room to control the indoor humidity. If the baby's room is dry, new mothers can use a humidifier to increase the humidity and keep the humidity in the baby's room between 50% and 60%.
