Before one of our breastfeeding sessions, I noticed that my 3-month-old has a blister on his lip. What should I do?

Baby blisters on lips are caused by frequent feedings or vigorous sucking; they may also be born with it due to thumb sucking in the womb. It is perfectly normal and should go away after every feeding or lasting varying from weeks to months. They should go away for good after a few months. You don't have to do anything to the blister because it doesn't really hurt or harm your baby in any way. It may seem unsightly and feels like it hurts but it doesn't. Frequent nursing may also keep the blister there more than you'd like it to be but it shouldn't bother you and stop you from breastfeeding. http://www.babycenter.in/x1016994/is-it-important-to-get-my-two-year-old-dewormed

It is common for baby to have blister on lip especially in their first few months. This is usually resulted from frequent and vigorous sucking. In their first few months, babies are nursed more frequent and the friction resulted from sucking can cause blister. However, mommy should not stop breastfeeding just because of that as it is usually harmless and will not cause any discomfort to baby. There is no need for treatment. It will normally recover by itself after a few days and it may develop again. http://www.livestrong.com/article/545314-can-babies-get-blisters-on-their-top-lips-from-breastfeeding/

yes mommy, unfortunately it is common especially during the breastfeeding months. during these months, your baby will do a lot of sucking and there will also be a lot of milk residue around that area. make sure to clean your baby's lip area properly after each feeding. also, if the rashes persist, please get them checked by the doc
