Question

What are the facial features of a newborn with Down syndrome who is just over a month old?

Answer

Newborns with Down syndrome typically present with a distinctive facial appearance at birth, including upward slanting eyes, a flat nasal bridge, a frequent tongue protrusion, muscle weakness, and a knuckle-walking gait. As they grow older, intellectual disabilities become more apparent, along with delayed motor and sexual development.
