Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my friend's newborn baby's lips are constantly peeling. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this is because the baby's skin is quite delicate, and it's also caused by friction from feeding. You can give the baby some water to drink. Generally, if breastfeeding is sufficient, the water content in breast milk is enough to meet the baby's body's needs, and there's no need to supplement with extra water. The baby's metabolism is considered to be fast, especially in the metabolism of epithelial tissues, which usually doesn't require any special treatment. Of course, if the baby's lips are dry, you can also moisten them with water.
