Anyone else's baby's lips look like this?? I'm exclusively breastfeeding. They'll get wet when she eats, then dry up a little. And the dry skin eventually falls off. Normal???

Question

Answer

It's not thrush. It's related to nursing. It's not a problem. Usually is associated with a tight latch.

Answer

Just breastfeeding blisters from the friction. Normal! My son has them

Answer

Is it painful nursing? It is normal to have some blistering but that seems like a lot. She might have a tongue tie if it hurts the whole time you nurse. If not then Dont worry about it!

Answer

It's a sucking callus! Nothing to worry about.. it shows baby is latched properly

Answer

Not as bad but my baby gets them as well. Pediatrician noticed today and said we could put Vaseline on to help it heal.

Answer

My first had that for awhile - I was told it was just breastfeeding blisters and nothing to worry about. I think it was gone within the first few weeks.

Answer

Its thrush. My son had it when I was breastfeeding. As long as it's not in babies mouth or on the tongue you should be fine. Otherwise doctor would prescribe an antibiotic. Dont try to peel it off. Itll go away within a few weeks.
