It's not an unknown phenomenon. Seen in many breast feeding kids. Will disappear over a period of time

Hi..
If baby is otherwise active feeding well.... dont worry.... due to breast feeding.... ( Conti yous latching and friction of lips with mothers nipple) lips can turn black.... over time it will decrease. Dont worry. Continue breast feeding
