Amy Hart seeks medical help for her baby after fans notice ‘blue tinge’ around his mouth

Amy Hart has revealed she took her son Stanley to the hospital after a “blue tinge” was noticed around his mouth.

The former Love Island star, 30, made the visit after receiving concerned messages from fans regarding her newborn son’s facial colouring.

Hart reassured her followers on Instagram Stories on Wednesday that Stanley is “fine” after being checked out, as she posted a photo of her baby boy.

The new mum wrote: “Lots of you messaged last night about the blue tinge around Stanley’s mouth in the video of him in his Moses basket.

“Lots said it could be trapped wind, some said it could be cyanosis which could have been more serious.

“We got him checked out and all fine.”

Hart added: “He’s very lucky to have so many people looking out for him so thank you.”

Cyanosis describes when the skin or lips appear blue and occurs when not enough oxygen is in the blood, or when there is poor blood circulation.

Possible causes of cyanosis include blood clots and serious problems with the lungs, like asthma or pneumonia, or the heart, such as heart failure or congenital heart disease.

Hart’s update comes after she celebrated her first Mother’s Day on Sunday, after welcoming her son earlier this month.

The mum-of-one posted a series of photos from the special day on Instagram this week, showing her with her baby boy and partner Sam Rason as they headed out to eat.

Beside the photos, Hart wrote: “My first Mother’s Day with my dream boy (ft my first small wine and first paté). Being a Mum is the best thing I’ve ever done and seeing Sam become a Dad has been an amazing experience.

“I’m so lucky to be doing life with the two of them. There’s been a few days where I’ve felt quite overwhelmed but when I’ve unpacked it all, being his Mum is the easy bit.

“It’s the calling customer services of things that have broken, sorting out the house, admin, applying for passports etc that stresses me out so I’ve made the executive decision to just lie on the sofa with him on my chest until further notice #boymum #newmum #mothersday”.
