Lip blisters/two toned lips?
Hi everyone,
Has anyone experienced this with their breastfed babies?
The latch feels comfortable and I’ve had midwives telling me everything looks good, but then after a feed, my babies lips look a little two toned, so I’m concerned the latch isn’t good and I don’t want him to get sore.

It's pretty normal, my daughter has them too after the feed and my first son also had it. I suppose it's because their lips stay wet with milk throughout the whole feed, and they dry out after some time the feeding is over. Symptoms of dehydration are usually floppy babies or yellow/orange stains in their nappies which may indicate baby is not having enough
It’s normal, my first did this too 🤍
Its normal, its just where their skin is so delicate. No blisters or two toned.
Since their skin is so delicate atm imagine it the same as your feet after a bath essentially. Its just from the milk and the sucking action
