What causes dry mouth in newborns?

1. The weather is dry.

This is a relatively common reason. Because the skin of the baby's lips is particularly delicate, when the weather is dry, the child's lips will be in a tight state. Once the lips are stretched, the baby's lips will become cracked and sometimes bleed.

2. Lack of vitamins.

An unreasonable diet structure for infants, or a lack of vitamins in their diet, can cause vitamin deficiency in the baby's body. When the vitamin deficiency reaches a certain amount, it will manifest in the form of chapped lips. Therefore, when the baby has such problems, parents should consider whether the child's diet structure is reasonable and whether the nutritional intake is comprehensive.

3. Symptoms of cold.

When a baby is unwell or has a cold, his lips will become chapped. The most common symptom is that the baby will have symptoms such as fever at the same time as his lips become chapped. Parents must pay attention and reduce the child's fever in time.

4. The diet of breastfeeding mothers is too dry.

If the baby is still breastfeeding, when this kind of problem occurs, parents should consider whether their diet is too dry and lacks water. At the same time, whether the breastfeeding mother has consumed too much spicy food or too much salt in her diet.

What can I eat to relieve my baby's dry lips?
