Black marks on 6 week baby's lower lip

Question

My 6 week old baby has 2 black marks (discolorings) on his lower lip. The doctor thought it might be due to breastdfeeding but he didn't seem too sure.Does anyone know what it might be?

Answer 1

Hello

Was your baby born with  the 2 black marks or did they just appear from no where.

So far searching about this i have come up with it could be a birth mark, it could be allergic reaction, and it could be brusing.

Im not sure witch one but the only babys ive have seen with any type of mark on there lips are infants with cleft lip; cleft plate.

I would seek a second opion you can never be too safe when it comes to your children.

Answer 2

You need to get a second opinion and get it explained to you what is going on.

Answer 3

Honestly, I'm not sure.. But i would definitely seek a second opinion if your not comfortable with your doctors response.

Usually your local childcare nurses are the best for these sorts of things. Even giving them a call might help.

Answer 4

Maybe you bonked a black man?
