Question

At what age can a baby be tested for Down syndrome, and are there any checks besides those for facial features?

Answer

Newborns cannot be tested for Down syndrome; at least five months must pass before the test can be performed. We know that Down syndrome has a significant impact on children. If treatment is not timely or the treatment method is incorrect, its progression is rapid, posing great harm to infants. Therefore, it is crucial to seek timely and regular treatment at professional hospitals.
