After birth, babies' skin is relatively fragile, and parents often worry about their babies' skin problems. After the baby finishes feeding, the skin on their mouth will turn white, usually disappearing after a while, but there are also times when it doesn't disappear. At this time, parents should pay attention. So what's going on with the baby's white lips?
What's wrong with the baby's white mouth skin
1. When a baby shows signs of anemia, their mouth skin may turn white. At this time, parents can take the baby to the hospital for examination to see if the baby has anemia. If so, they should pay attention to supplementing the baby with iron.
2. If a baby eats milk for too long, they may also experience white skin on their mouth. This is because the baby's skin is delicate and can become white over time due to being soaked in breast milk. Usually, it will return to normal after a while. If parents only notice white skin on their baby's mouth after the baby has finished drinking milk, there is no need to be too nervous.
Precautions for feeding babies
When babies are able to eat complementary foods, parents should not give them salty foods. After eating, remember to give babies a cup of warm water or rinse their mouths. It is best to keep the water temperature at 25 ℃. Drinking too hot or too cold water can harm the baby's digestive system. It is also important to give babies animal liver and spinach to help replenish blood, which can effectively prevent the baby's mouth from turning white.
