Blue around mouth and nose NOT lips or tongue
I noticed this the other day but thought maybe it was my eyes and didnt take note.....
OH was doing LO's bath tonight and he called me up and sure enough the area around his mouth and nose was blue. HIs lips and tongue however were very red and his breathing is normal.
Any ideas...he is 13 weeks
(I am going to take him to the doctors about it but wondered if anyone has any knowledge of what it might be?)

As long as his breathing is fine and he is nice and alert you can attribute it to wind. My lo used to have this but since he has started to bring the wind up himself i haven't seen it.
If he is happy, smiling and feeding as normal then i'm sure it's nothing to worry about. Maybe call NHS direct if you are still concerned x
(however he is of good colour and his lungs are working well haha he let us know that when we took him out of the bath haha)
Daisy used to get the blue around her lips all the time when she was younger... I always put it down to wind - Mum told me that's what it was so I believed her!!!!!
However, if you are even slightly concerned, I would also take him to get him checked out, especially since he's had his jabs!

I know this post is old ,but never ignore blue lips or any cyinosis for that matter my son ended up diagnosed with heart defect and he looks perfectly normal but does get pale around his lips and nose
