What Cause Lip Discoloration For 7 Month Old Baby?

My 7 month old baby girl had a blackish blue color to her bottom lip only in the middle... This happened about 3 weeks ago I thought it was from her biting on the ear of a stuff tiger which was new and the ear was black... But today I just noticed it again ... What is this from ?

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Bluish black discoloration in the center of the upper lip that too at times you are noticing.
Most probably it is staining from foods or other articles she is biting as these babies are in the habit of putting everything in their mouth.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
