Answer
Considering the baby’s stool condition, it may indicate indigestion. The blue discoloration around the baby’s mouth while crying cannot be ruled out as a sign of a heart condition. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination promptly. If there is a heart murmur in the baby, it is suggested to have a detailed echocardiogram.
