Why are my baby's lips purple?

When babies are young, they cannot express their feelings with words, so parents must pay close attention to their children's every move when taking care of them, and judge whether the children are healthy by their body language. In the cold winter, we often find that babies' lips are frozen purple. In addition, there are many other reasons that can cause babies' lips to turn purple. So what's wrong with babies' lips?

Situation 2 why baby’s lips turn purple: baby suffers from ischemia.

Solution to infant ischemia: Add appropriate blood-enriching complementary foods to the baby.

Recommendation: Babies should gradually start adding complementary foods at 4 months old. They should eat half an egg yolk every morning.

At 6 months, babies should eat 3/4 of an egg yolk a day, at 8 months, one egg yolk, and at one year old, one egg a day, including the egg white. Egg yolks are rich in iron (for blood) and lecithin (for the brain). You can feed your baby meat when he is 8 months old. Mash the pork liver into liver paste, cook it in porridge and feed it to him. It is very good for blood supplement.

Color Doppler ultrasound can make an accurate judgment. But don't worry too much. If the hole diameter is within 3 mm, there is a 30% chance that the baby will return to normal within 2 years. If the hole is larger, surgery may be necessary.
