Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
All the babies are pink in color with red lips at birth.
Pigmentation of the skin starts after 2-3 weeks of birth depending on the genes the color of the babies determined.
When you have black lips, naturally your baby lips also black like mother.
One can not change the color of the lips by medicines.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
