Sounds like cyanosis to me, probably more obvious to the Mom on the
baby's tongue than anywhere else. Hypoxia could result from the baby
having a hard time breathing right after vomiting, or a vagal
bradycardia kind of thing, or a heart defect as Rachel  mentioned, which
Down's children are at higher risk for.
