Growth

From the moment a new baby is born, we watch the baby's progress eagerly, anticipating every inch of growth and developmental milestone along the way.

In infancy many children with Down syndrome may not regain their birth weight until around 1 month.  This early failure to thrive is usually due to feeding difficulties many of which resolve after the first few weeks.
