Waking up with dry lips

Mobile waking up with dry lips

DS has been giving us 6ish hours at night since Thanksgiving. Well the past two nights he has slept for 8 hours! Obviously we are loving his new talent but I've noticed that when he does wake his lips are dry, white, and almost look cracked. This all goes away once he nurses and I wipe his mouth. I'm wondering if I should worry about him being dehydrated or if I should be doing something before bed to prevent it. We do have a humidifier in the room.

    dry lips could be  a sign of dehydration but I think the biggest indicator is diaper output. As long as LO is making lots of wet diapers he is getting what he needs.

    My LO always has dry lips when he wakes up for his 3 am feedings. I wouldn't really worry about it as long as he still having wet diapers! I also have a humidifier my son's room. If he isn't having wet diapers I would try to add an extra feeding in between and see if that helps!
