What medical disorder is it when a baby stops what it was doing, lips turn blue, and hands shake, and then recovers without medical attention?

This is considered an emergency situation. Anytime a baby or child has blue lips or fingernails, that is a serious cause for concern. Basically, oxygen levels are not functioning properly. Shaking of the extremities of any kind could be a seizure, however, this could also be a result of brain damage since oxygen is not getting to the brain. Seek medical attention immediately. My advice, call 911. This is a true emergency.

OMG!!!! BLUE LIPS!! SHAKING BODY!!! Your child needs some medical attention. Could be a seizure. Blue lips means lack of oxygen to the brain, lack of oxygen to the brain means brain damage. You should know the rest.
GO TO THE ER!!!!!!!!!!

This sounds similar to a mild seizure. Blue lips are typical of a lack of oxygen so this child may need medical attention even if he/she doesn't appear so at the time. Talk with your pediatrician/GP.

Could be a seizure, or he could have stopped breathing. Lips turn blue with lack of oxygen. Go to a doctor

I hope you have sought medical attention and taken the baby to a nearby hospital. You certainly should have him evaluated at a hospital immediately.

Call the babies doctor immediatley it could be something very serious, like a seizure, turning blue is a sign of low oxygen. my son was born with a congenital heart defect and right before he had his open heart surgery his lips had a blue color, please contact the babies doctor ASAP

The baby needs oxygen.

You need to take them to the doctor because the baby is having mini-seizures and they may need to be on medication for it.
