Question
What should I do if my newborn’s inner lips turn blue and develop blisters? They were normal at birth, but by the fifth day after breastfeeding, they looked like this? Thank you!
Answer
If a newborn’s inner lips appear to have blisters, especially after breastfeeding, it might be due to fragile oral mucosa or peeling that occurs during suckling. The blue discoloration around the mouth should raise concerns about a potential heart condition, and it is advisable to have a cardiac ultrasound examination.
