Hi, Thank you for asking question on Chat Doctor. All the babies are pink 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 purposeless feel free to ask any more queries if requiredTake care Chat Doctor. V.
