What to do if your newborn baby has dry lips

The physical health of newborns is one of the things that parents are most concerned about. Because the organs of newborns are not fully developed, their immune function and digestive ability are relatively poor. Therefore, we recommend that parents and friends pay attention to the care of newborns in daily life. Some newborns are prone to dry lips. Below we will introduce what to do if newborns have dry lips.

Dry lips are a very common phenomenon, and there are two reasons for this: lack of vitamins and lack of water. Dryness and cracking at the corners of the mouth is a sign of vitamin deficiency. You should supplement vitamins, eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid picky eating. Lack of water or dry mouth due to talking too much can cause dry lips and accumulation of dead skin on the lips or corners of the mouth. At this time, you should drink more water and keep your lips clean.

Vitamin A can promote the healing of baby's cracked wounds, and vitamin E and vitamins can prevent dry skin.

When your baby's lips are chapped, first apply a small hot, wet towel on the lips to allow the lips to fully absorb moisture, and then apply olive oil or tea oil. I tried it on my son and it worked. In addition, you should pay more attention to your baby's vitamin intake. Babies can be fed pumpkin puree after 6 months (to increase B vitamins) to prevent chapped lips.

Also, try to keep the indoor humidity at around 60%. If conditions permit, you can purchase a humidifier, or place a wet towel near the heater or air conditioner to increase the humidity. This will not only help prevent your baby's skin from drying out, but will also help keep your baby's nasal mucosa moist and the respiratory system clean.
