What are the signs of Downs Syndrome?

[mum2jakeyroo]

Just had ds3 5 weeks ago. He has been a very placid, sleepy and lethargic baby so far. Since he was born I have felt there has been something different about him and dh mentioned that he looked like he had ds. How obvious are the signs at this age and what should I be looking for?

Bumping for you.

hi there

im sorry but i can remember all the posh technical terms but: a flat forehead, widened nose, eye-skin folds, and those creases on the palms (where theres just the one instead of 2) these things can usually be seen at birth (after any swelling has subsided). Im sure someone more knowledgable than me will be along to help you out. good luck and {{{HUGS}}}

sorry 'cant' not can.
