Dr. Shah Chowdhury answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

ACCEPT THE REALITY:: It is a chromosomal disorder, a common condition. You will see a lot of kids, adolescents, adults with this syndrome. They need extra care, support, help. Ask the baby's pediatrician to give you the name of support group in your area, you will learn a lot, get support and help.
