How to manage newborn’s chapped lips?
short by / on Monday, 21 April, 2025
Newborns often get chapped lips due to dry air, drooling, or feeding irritation. It's usually harmless and treatable at home with breast milk, baby-safe moisturisers, and a humidifier. Avoid adult lip balms. Consult a doctor if lips are bleeding, persistently dry, or show signs of infection or dehydration. Gentle care usually keeps baby lips soft and healthy.
