[quote=Anonymous]One thing that can help with severely chapped lips is to prep the lips by softening them and moistening them *before* you do the Aquafore/Vaseline/lanolin. I dampen a washcloth with warm water and have DD hold it to her lips to a few minutes, then remove and immediately apply aquafore or vaseline. I find that softening the lips first creates a smoother surface for the occlusive with does a better job of locking in moisture. Also if the lips are softer, your kid will be less likely to bite or lick them, which will help them heal faster and prevent bleeding and irritation.[/quote]
