Hi parents,

Wondering if you guys have any recommendations on what to apply to a newborn baby that accidentally scraped her face? Any medication that would facilitate her healing and prevent scar formation.

It happened to my daughter when I took off her mittens, and she scraped her face and nose when I turned away. So, any parents which such experience can share some tips?

Thanks

Usually they heal on its own, better not apply chemicals on their sensitive skin.

But in the end of the day I am not a doctor, if you are desperate please seek for doctor advise

relax. small scratches will not have scar mark, unless bleeding.

Thanks, but the scrape is quite deep for her nose, which concerns me

She has bleeding for her nose. I could only clean up for now.

for newborn if u wan to be sure, go visit a paed la...
especially if it is causing the infant discomfort..

anyway, there will be many many wounds for you to tend to..
so just chill if it is just surface and bleeding has stop..

Hehe yeah .. her nose would is still prominent but not so for the one on her face.

Can I also ask. Is it common for infants to poop after every meal? I'm feeding my infant breastmilk. She wasn't like this previously but she's pooping almost after every meal. To be specific, it is happening mostly in the morning from 1 to 7. And she doesn't sleep much during that period. She sleeps alot after that. We aren't sure what can we do actually to put her to sleep. We hardly have any sleep nowadays, so we have to flip our time to hers. Could hardly work if that's the case.

my twins are 5 years old now so anything that happened 4 years ago is already hazy to me..
but i do remember changing their diapers 4 -5 times a day when they are <6months
however, if ur infant pass alot of gas and always have tummy discomfort, perhaps the milk is not suitable.. also check if the stool is normal (can find out online)

as for the sleep issue, i read online forums and it is like a common issue faced by many parents..
for mine from 6ms to 9ms they oso cant sleep every nite.. scream and cry from midnight still early morning..
we tried everything... leave the lights on, go to different room, play soft music, carry them all the time.. some work, some don work, some work sometimes...
but suddenly when they are 10m, just stop for no reason..

according to my paed, it is a sign the baby is growing is getting aware of their surrounding, and they just wanna communicate with their only way, which is cry... to tell us something..

Arg it's just so exhausting. We have tried everything. She's just fussing everytime. I guess it takes time.

yeah dont worry too much, unless its a big cut.
just make sure u trim the fingernails in case she is not wearing mittens.

Yeah we trimmed her nails.

The mark is there, it has some coloration that is not prominent but noticeable if you look at it thoroughly. Hopefully it fades over time.

my son also scratched the face when he was little.
its not permanent. now ok already.

Haha thanks for sharing!

if u want to see the face with scratch and after it has healed, i can share with u. DM me your contact.

Haha .. nah its OK. But thanks for the offer!
