Is there anything I can safely put on my DS's chapped lips? He's 10.5mo, and has a (teething related) cold.
Is vaseline safe, or is there anything better?
Thank you! Smile

vaseline is fine.

Seconding Rooby - Vaseline.

I put lansinoh on my baby's chapped lips - figured if it's OK to use when BF with no need to wipe it off before feeding, it must be OK for her lips.

Good call ladies, thank you! It's horrid to see his little lips bleeding...
