Chapstick for DD's chapped lips?

MissMissy234 · February 2009

Can you use normal chapstick? I'm thinking I can put some on and hopefully she won't lick it off, but I'm also thinking I can put some vaseline on them after she falls asleep to help over night.

Any ideas?

When DS's lips get chapped, I sneak into his room after he's asleep and put on vaseline. That has worked very well.

Ditto pp - we use vaseline when DD's lips get chapped.

i've used plain chapstick (no extra chemicals) in a pinch but otherwise i put vaseline both when he's awake or sleeping. It doesn't seem to bother him.

I wouldn't recommend using vaseline, as it's petroleum based, and it won't help the chapping. I highly recommend using something natural like badger balm chapstick in unscented flavor, it's organic olive oil based, and it's safe and works great too hth

Boudreaux's (the makers of Butt Paste) has a product made for babies' chapped lips/cheeks. ?I got DD some from Target (it's right by the Butt Paste). ?

Ditto this. Lansinoh is also great for chapped lips, and perfectly safe to ingest.

I've used Burts Bees on Sarah - she's so cute...she purses her lips right up like I do when I put it on me! :-)

I use lanolin too. I'm not a fan of using vaseline or even chapstick on him. In fact, classic cherry chapstick does not rate well (it's an 8 out of 10 - the lower the better) on cosmeticdatabase.com. Aquaphor is a 2, but I don't like to put it on his mouth. Lansinoh lanolin is a 1.

thanks for that I didn't know that about vaseline as far as not helping chapping!

Ditto.We use Burts Bees as well, and DS LOVES it. He has had terribly chapped lips...bleeding and everything! It works great!!
