Is it normal for newborn babies to have peeling lips?

Newborn babies breastfeed 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.

How to prevent newborn baby's lips from peeling

1. Master the feeding time

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.

2. Control the number of feedings

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.

3. Correct your sleeping habits

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.
