I have always thought that a suck blister on the upper lip was normal for
babies that nurse a lot.... in fact after my toddler had a breast hyadis for
a few months during my pregnancy and then decided he wanted it 24/7, he got
a lovely suck blister on his upper lip, it faded in a few weeks but it was
funny to see.
