Hi....your doctor was right. The black color of the lips will eventually disappear as the baby grows up. But there is a medical condition called central cyanosis which can cause dark or bluish colored lips and fiber tips.... But if this is the case the baby will require evaluation for congenital heart disease.
But I am sure your pediatrician would not have missed this. So be rest assured.
