My son is a lip biter/sucker and combined with the dry, cold temperatures, he has bright red, chapped cheeks/mouth. What do I do for that? Vaseline? Coconut oil?
-
I used Aquaphor. After bath I would use his regular lotion and then seal it all in with Aquaphor. Vaseline in a pinch of we were out.
-
My son gets badly chapped cheeks this time of year. We lather him up with Aquaphor and try to keep the humidifier going (our house is dry, which I think contributes!).
-
We've also used Aquaphor and it's really helped
-
@twodoghouse: we found mold in our humidifier and had to throw it out! We need a new one.
@gingerbebe: @BeachMama: aquaphor it is! Thanks
-
We use this on cheeks and lips. I found it at a local health food store.

Our pediatrician said to use Vaseline or similar. Our house is really dry too now that the heat is on.

Waxelene worked really well for us.

We use aquaphor too!
-
Lanolin at bedtime makes it disappear/heal overnight!
-
We do aquaphor too, we also put it on before we go out into the cold when we remember.
-
@CakeLady: good idea. He's going outside every day at daycare, and today was the day it got really bad. I'll have to ask her to put it in him too.
-
@Mrs. Pen: a fashion blogger i follow uses lansinoh nipple cream on her lips! Haha she says it's amazing. And her lips look really nice and hydrated all the time.
Hope you find something that helps him! -
Honest co organic healing balm does wonders for T. You can get it at Target.
-
@chopsuey: yes! Lansinoh is awesome for chapped lips or if your nose gets raw from blowing it.
My daughter gets chapped cheeks in the cold, so I try to remember to slather her with cream before we go out. I use a brand called A-Derma, which is what my derm in France recommended.

I used aquaphor and lanolin on my kiddos and it seemed to work.
