if the bleeding has already stopped then it means that she is fine now. as the other moms already suggested, please clean the area gently, if possible also use some cold or cool water as it will help to reduce the swelling. you can apply a bit of ice cube around the area and gently dab it on the cut. if you feel it is still swollen or is quite prominent, do take her to the doctor once.

Do not worry, because the bleeding has stopped, the inner part of the lip will heal itself. Our saliva helps in healing the bruise. Yes, you can put ice cube for a few minutes on the injured part. It will be fine on its own in a day or two. But if it doesn't then show to the doctor or if you see the cut is deep or the pain is there and doesn't subside, if there is any.

Oh no! Poor baby! Since bleeding has stopped, rinse the area with cool water to remove any dirt. Give her an ice cube or a frozen teether - this will help to reduce the bleeding and swelling. Just keep making sure the are is clean. If the cut is pretty big, it may need stitches.

little sugar on the area to help coagulation and to keep baby's mind off it. however if baby is in lot of pain consult doc.

Since there is no bleeding now, not to worry. Pls apply cold packs to reduce the swelling
