What Causes Blue Lip In A Baby?

just wondering as my baby - 3 months- was gasping for breath for a few seconds yesterday. straight after, the middle of her lower lip turned blue. We have been to see a doctor who checked her heart lungs-simple test and said that she is ok. I believe this. Only prob I had was that she said that blue lip may be due to pressure in the area or a bruise. I disagree

Hello,

Blue lips indicate that this child for a few second did not have enough oxygen, and it will be back once he got enough.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
