Newborn's lips are a bit purple, eating and defecating are normal, what should I do?

Patient's question:

Description of the condition (onset time, main symptoms, changes in symptoms, etc.): The newborn's lips are a bit purple, and eating and defecating are normal. Sometimes they turn darker, and sometimes they improve a bit.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, regarding the situation you mentioned, there are two reasons: one is that the baby is a bit cold, which causes related symptoms, and the other could be due to hypoxia. Both of these reasons can lead to the situation. Try keeping him warm or providing oxygen to see if there is a noticeable improvement. It is essentially a symptom of hypoxia, and once the hypoxic state is improved, the symptoms will alleviate.
