How should I handle minor scrapes or scratches on my baby's face?

It is common for infants to accidentally scratch themselves with their fast-growing nails. If you notice a minor scrape, applying a small amount of breast milk to the area can often help soothe the skin and promote healing. Keep the area clean, and if the scratch seems deep or does not show improvement, consult your pediatrician, but generally, minor nicks heal quickly with gentle care.
