I noticed my grandson was blue around the mouth area after his mother was breastfeeding him. Is this a sign that he may have been in a bad position to breathe while breastfeeding, or can there be another problem? He is 4 weeks old. He breastfeeds approx. 10 min and falls asleep, then wants to eat again after approx. 30 minutes.
Hi...bluish discoloration around the mouth is cyanosis and its appearance while feeding warrants immediate evaluation and echocardiography as it could be related to a congenital heart problem. Regards -
