Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
I understand you concern and I must assure you that your baby sounds to be totally normal. Dark lips can be there in neonates which usually resolves as the child grows. As long as baby is otherwise active, feeding well, rest body is pink in colour and not pale or bluish, passing urine and stools well, nothing to be concerned about. Hope I answered your query well. Let me know if there is any other clarification. Enjoy your baby.
