After having a baby, the process of mother care is really hard, not only that, sometimes the baby has some problems, and the responsibility is pushed on the mother, which is really hard and wronged.
The newborn baby's lips are white blisters because the mother is salty?
It has been 10 days since the birth of my little nephew, and when I went to see him a few days ago, I found that the child's lips had a layer of white bubbles, and I remember when my child was born, there was also such a situation.
The old man in the family said that it was because the breastfeeding mother "ate too much salt", let the younger sister eat less salt, and even did not put salt at all when cooking, and the sister-in-law had to live a "monk" life.
But in fact, the sister-in-law is originally a person with a very light taste, and the intake of salt in the diet is naturally much less, so the white foaming of the baby's lips caused by the mother eating too much salt does not hold up.
In fact, many small babies have such a situation, after a period of birth, the mouth will blister, after a period of time, it will also shed a little skin, so what are the reasons for this problem?
What happens to the white blistering of the lips of the newborn baby?
1) The environment is dry
In the autumn and winter, the weather is dry, and the baby's lips will be relatively dry, so it is appropriate to feed the baby a little water, or wet the lower lip.
Although the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that breastfeeding newborn babies do not need to be fed water, it is not absolute, and it is not impossible to feed some water appropriately from the indoor temperature and the baby's physical condition.
2) Friction problems
The indispensable thing for newborn babies to suck and eat every day is to suck, and the white bubbles on the mouth are likely to be attracted by sucking.
Newborn baby skin is very delicate, the mucous membrane of the lips is even more delicate, and it is even more necessary to eat hard when feeding, otherwise how to say "make the strength to eat milk"? In this way, in a long period of friction, it will cause small bubbles on the delicate lips.
3) Normal metabolism
Soon after the baby is born, there will be some white skin on the eyes, eyebrows, and lips, which is the product of the baby's normal metabolism, and it will slowly fall off, and the mother does not have to worry.
4) Lack of trace elements
In addition to some of the above physiological reasons, there is a situation that needs to be paid attention to by the mother, if the baby's body lacks trace elements, like vitamin A1, then there will also be a situation of white skin on the lips.
At this time, parents should take their children to the hospital for examination to see what kind of trace elements are missing, and what is missing will be supplemented. Under normal circumstances, after the baby is discharged from the hospital, the doctor will recommend that the baby be supplemented with cod liver oil and calcium regularly to supplement the trace elements in the body.
What should I do if my newborn baby has small bubbles on his mouth?
Under normal circumstances, the small bubbles or white skin on the baby's lips are caused by sucking, and will disappear on their own after a period of time, do not try to puncture or tear off the skin of the lips. It is best for the mother to do a good job of prevention to avoid similar situations on the baby's lips.
Avoid sucking for long periods of time
Avoiding prolonged sucking can reduce the chance of blisters in your baby's lips. For babies under the age of one month, the mother should try to control the time of each breastfeeding within 40 minutes, and breastfeed once every 2.5-3 hours.
Avoid breastfeeding your baby too often, feed regularly to ensure the integrity of each baby's nutritional intake, and the lips and the mother's lactation mechanism can also have the opportunity to get a full rest.
Correct poor sleep habits
Many mothers like to let the baby eat while sleeping, which is very serious damage to the baby's lip skin, and the mother should correct the habit of letting the baby feed and sleep, and reduce the burden on the baby's lips.
Bud Care Mom wants to say:
Seeing the baby abnormal, as a parent, it must be extremely worried, but for the baby's mouth with small vesicles, most of the cases are physiological, and the mother really does not need to interfere too much.
However, if the baby's lip peeling is serious and persistent, and it is accompanied by crying and making trouble, then parents should pay attention.
