Question
Why do a baby’s face and lips turn blue after crying?
Answer
Based on your description, if a baby’s face and lips turn black after crying, it might be due to excessive crying causing water aspiration. In such cases, the baby’s face and lips may appear purulent due to the aspiration. When a baby is crying, you can gently pat their back to reduce the risk of aspiration and help soothe their emotions. At the same time, as parents, it is important to manage emotions to avoid allowing the baby to experience excessive excitement, thereby reducing the occurrence of similar situations.
