Twins
Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question.
As long as the babies are otherwise ok, there is no need to be concerned over what you see with their lips. I feel its always a good idea to mention everything to your doctor at the regularly scheduled visits. So I would consider mentioning it. Until then, however, there is truly no need an e concern.
