There is a blue mark on Joys bottom lip from where I think she sucks on her lip...why do they do that? Is it a teething thing? ------------- Mum to: Joy Emily 1.05am 27/09/07 7lb 3oz Austin Paul 12.47pm 18/04/10 10lb 8oz |

Rex sucks his bottom lip when his teeth are really hurting him, so it could be her teeth??? ------------- A very lucky mummy to two gorgeous boys: RB 3/10/2008 JB 29/12/2009 |

That is exactly what it looks like. Except Joy's lip is a bit darker and more to the center of the lip.
Good to know it will go away, but the little rascal makes a new one as soon as the old one has gone...it looks like she has been hit or something! ------------- Mum to: Joy Emily 1.05am 27/09/07 7lb 3oz Austin Paul 12.47pm 18/04/10 10lb 8oz |

Yeah, my DD has been sucking her bottom lip as well, and guess what she has a tooth coming through, first one!
Possible thats exactly why they are doing this! |
