A. Cracks in the lips or inside the mouth of a 10-month-old baby can be caused by several factors: Possible Reasons 1. Dehydration: Insufficient fluid intake can lead to dry lips and cracking. 2. Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of certain vitamins (like B vitamins) or minerals can cause lip and mouth issues. 3. Dry Environment: Dry air can lead to chapped lips, especially in winter. 4. Teething: Increased saliva production and lip biting during teething can cause irritation. 5. Infections: Fungal or bacterial infections can result in cracks or sores. What to Do Hydration: Ensure your baby is drinking enough fluids. Moisturize: Apply a safe, mild lip balm or natural oils (like coconut oil) to the lips. Balanced Diet: Ensure a well-rounded diet to prevent deficiencies. Include fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Consult a Pediatrician: If the cracks persist, worsen, or are accompanied by other symptoms (like fever), it’s best to seek medical advice for proper diagnosis and treatment. Monitor: Keep an eye on the situation and adjust her diet or environment as needed. Regular check-ups can help address any concerns early.
