I am glad she is healing up! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-lo-ever-split-open-their-lip#post-1601103 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 07:38:55 +0000 Smurfette 1601103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Poor girl!! There was so much blood. I think that is what freaked me out the most. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-lo-ever-split-open-their-lip#post-1601098 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 07:36:51 +0000 MsLipGloss 1601098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: My LO got a split lip at daycare once (one of her little friends tried to share a toy with her face a little too forcefully). It healed up pretty quickly. I tried not to overreact, but I may or may not have cried a little when I saw blood transfer on her lovey (her lamb) . . . she must have snuggled it pretty tightly after the incident. :( She was okay--already!--when I picked her up that afternoon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-lo-ever-split-open-their-lip#post-1601094 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 07:35:37 +0000 Adira 1601094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Good!!! Glad to hear it's not bothering her and seems to be healing! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-lo-ever-split-open-their-lip#post-1601089 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 07:33:11 +0000 Smurfette 1601089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Well I thought she needed stitches. Luckily she didn't. </p> <p>It looked NASTY yesterday, like it was infected. I texted my brother a pic (he is a fire medic) and he was like she is fine, it is healing. It looks better this morning, not as swollen, but starting to scab over so that is good. She is eating and drinking like normal. So it doesn't seem to be bothering her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-lo-ever-split-open-their-lip#post-1601079 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 07:27:18 +0000 looch 1601079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, he slipped and banged his face on the cast iron tub in my parent's house.</p> <p>I thought he would need stitches, but he was fine a few hours later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-lo-ever-split-open-their-lip#post-1601077 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 07:25:50 +0000 Adira 1601077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um, is it bad I didn't even call the ped when Xander fell and split his???</p> <p>@Smurfette: How's R doing now? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-lo-ever-split-open-their-lip#post-1600989 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 06:29:26 +0000 ValentineMommy 1600989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On the inside, yes. It bled...a lot. However, I think I cried more than he did. It heals pretty fast!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-lo-ever-split-open-their-lip#post-1600219 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 15:57:42 +0000 kakimochi 1600219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OUr 4 YO was playing on the chair, slipped off, and on the way down, she must have bit down into her lower lip... she was upset and crying of course but calmed down after a few minutes, we cleaned the blood, it clotted, gave her some ice which she liked, and she complained about the pain, but we reassured her it would hurt less and less little by little. she was fine overall, wasn't acting funny or disoriented, she did go back and play. next day it turned into a canker sore, a big one, and healed up totally in 4-5 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-lo-ever-split-open-their-lip#post-1598374 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 01:05:28 +0000 googly-eyes 1598374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On the inside? Yes. I think it was the same night she cut open her chin from the shower door track... I was right next to her but I couldn't catch her in time. :( We have had so many mishaps...I have a toddler who wobbled for quite awhile and has graduated from wobbling to being a daredevil! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-lo-ever-split-open-their-lip#post-1598314 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 22:01:25 +0000 Weagle 1598314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A couple of times. Lips bleed a lot, so it seems way worse than it actually is. Luckily, they also heal quickly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-lo-ever-split-open-their-lip#post-1598307 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 21:57:30 +0000 ALV91711 1598307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happened here a couple months ago on a day DH was out of town of course. I thought the bleeding would never stop, but after a few minutes he was fine and happily playing. It only took a couple days to heal up.</p> <p>I'm sure R will be fine but that is going to suck to have to wake her up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-lo-ever-split-open-their-lip#post-1598294 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 21:41:26 +0000 BoogieBea 1598294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter split her lip recently with quite a bit of blood. The bleeding stop pretty quickly though and she was back to her normal self within 5 minutes. It healed pretty quickly. Hope your LO feels better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-lo-ever-split-open-their-lip#post-1598256 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 21:07:41 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1598256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Charlie split his lip really badly recently and the scab kept falling off and resplitting.</p> <p>I think the lips are one of the areas of your body that heal quickly so hopefully your LO will be ok in no time. it also tends to bleed a lot so it may seem a lot worse than it is.</p> <p>Re: waking up... I never did that even after pretty bad head falls. i did check on them through the night.</p> <p>hope your LO is ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-lo-ever-split-open-their-lip#post-1598171 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 20:16:57 +0000 Beyond2 1598171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few times but not due to an injury. DS and I both have the same huge lips that chap really easy. Both our lips split during our sleep at times. It kind of sucks.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-lo-ever-split-open-their-lip#post-1598111 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 19:38:14 +0000 mamimami 1598111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! We gave him a Popsicle to "ice" it and it worked pretty well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-lo-ever-split-open-their-lip#post-1598079 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 19:17:52 +0000 QueensBee 1598079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One night, Pete cut his lip right before bed and it was bleeding a lot, but only for about 3 minutes before it clotted. After he calmed down, he fell asleep right away. I looked in his mouth the next morning and I couldn't find any evidence that he has been bleeding at all. No mark, scabs, etc. It was like it never happened. </p> <p>So, I don't have a lot of experience but in Pete's case, the inital blood made the cut seem a lot worse than it actually was. He was fine within five minutes. I hope R is the same way!</p> <p>And yes, only happens when DH is away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-lo-ever-split-open-their-lip#post-1598075 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 19:14:21 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1598075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes. she was running into a corner behind a door and she tripped and hit her lip on the door hinge. it split under her top lip and her mouth was full of blood! i was by myself and was scared but she stopped crying after a few minutes and was happy so i figured she was fine. and she was :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-lo-ever-split-open-their-lip#post-1598069 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 19:07:04 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1598069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! At daycare :bummed: they called me to let me know but said she was acting fine. I picked her up 30 min later and you'd never know she fell. Hopefully the same can be said for R. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-lo-ever-split-open-their-lip#post-1598043 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 18:40:59 +0000 Ra 1598043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! A few weeks ago. It happened in the morning so I didn't have to wake him but he acted normally and it healed quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-lo-ever-split-open-their-lip#post-1598038 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 18:37:35 +0000 chopsuey 1598038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-lo-ever-split-open-their-lip#post-1598033 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 18:35:54 +0000 MamaMoose 1598033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M did this once and it healed really quickly. As far as "acting normal" I would just make sure she wakes up relatively easily and that her pupils dialate properly. And don't feel bad!! M was six inches from me and not slippery and wet when she split her lip on my parents coffee table. It can happen to anyone!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-lo-ever-split-open-their-lip#post-1598027 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 18:23:54 +0000 Smurfette 1598027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R fell tonight after bath and landed on the bottom of the stool. I picked her up and then noticed the blood. I called the pedi's office and the nurse called back and said that it doesn't sound like she needs stitches. Just had to keep her up for an hour and then I have to wake her after 2-3 hours and make sure she is acting normal. But how do I check if she is normal? She is just going to be pissed when I wake her. </p> <p>She was totally fine, playing and laughing while I was talking to the nurse. </p> <p>Why does this always on my watch and DH is out of town!!! </p>
