A. For a baby with dry, chapped, or torn lips, here are some gentle remedies you can try to help soothe and heal them: Remedies for Dry and Torn Lips 1. Breast Milk: A few drops of breast milk can be gently dabbed onto her lips. Breast milk has natural healing properties and can help keep the lips moist. 2. Petroleum Jelly or Baby Lip Balm: Apply a tiny amount of petroleum jelly or baby-safe lip balm on her lips. This can help lock in moisture and protect the lips from further dryness. Ensure it is safe for infants and fragrance-free. 3. Avoid Licking the Lips: Babies may lick their lips more when they’re dry, which can worsen the chapping. Try to keep her lips moisturized to reduce the urge. 4. Humidifier: Use a cool-mist humidifier in the room, especially if the air is dry, to keep her skin hydrated, including her lips. 5. Keep Hydrated: Make sure she is getting enough breast milk or formula to stay hydrated, as dehydration can worsen dry lips. When to Consult a Doctor If her lips don’t improve, appear to worsen, or show signs of infection (such as redness, swelling, or pus), consult her pediatrician. They can recommend a safe ointment if needed.
