Baby lips are very sensitive and prone to crack in cold weather. Apply a good lip balm regularly like Vaseline petroleum jelly or other

No need to do anything for this. Just keep a watch for any active bleeding. Apply home made or pure ghee if required over it. Try to keep it clean and avoid any infection, so that u can avoid any antibiotics
