I wouldn't put aquaphor or vaseline... not a fan of petrolatum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chapped-baby-lips#post-482087 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 22:32:59 +0000 pastemoo 482087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, DS had that issue when he was newborn for a few weeks... went away as he got better at BFing.<br /> TIP: do NOT pull the little flakes! Lips will bleed.<br /> We tried lanolin and milk... only time helped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chapped-baby-lips#post-482043 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 22:09:06 +0000 MarieJ 482043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use lanolin on lo's lips since it's all natural. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chapped-baby-lips#post-482024 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 21:57:47 +0000 prettylizy 482024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to suggest coconut oil too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chapped-baby-lips#post-482002 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 21:51:37 +0000 MaisyMay 482002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks all. I let it go about 24 hours, but did end up putting a little lanolin on her lips. She kept trying to eat my finger so I don't guess she minded too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chapped-baby-lips#post-481787 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 20:06:29 +0000 hummusgirl 481787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby got these often and they'd usually disappear within 12 hours, with no treatment. My doc said they're sucking blisters and not to do anything about it (though lanolin, expressed milk, etc. certainly wouldn't hurt if you want to). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chapped-baby-lips#post-481779 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 20:01:35 +0000 autumnlove 481779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Expressed milk, lanolin or coconut oil? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chapped-baby-lips#post-481752 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 19:42:14 +0000 mrskc 481752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you BFing? Maybe a little expressed milk would help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chapped-baby-lips#post-481723 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 19:26:41 +0000 oahujeni 481723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor told me I could use lanolin on our 3 week old's lips. It's safe for breastfeeding so is the same as putting it directly on his lips. He had chapped lips and a blister from sucking and it seems to help so far! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chapped-baby-lips#post-481708 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 19:18:53 +0000 Weagle 481708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could try a little aquaphor, but it's normal and will resolve itself if you don't do anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chapped-baby-lips#post-481670 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 18:56:31 +0000 MaisyMay 481670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What do you do for chapped lips on a baby? I don't think I can put lip balm on her...maybe vaseline? Help! </p>
