Hi....I suggest you these possibilities...
1. It could be acrocyanosis or bluish discoloration due to ambient temperature.
2. It could be a breathe holding spell...as you say he cries a lot & alternatively color changes between blue and white.
3. Though very unlikely when its not continuous bluishness...I would like to rule out s structural heart disease.
Happy to help anytime... If my suggestions have helped you...kindly rate it.
