Patient's question:
What age do other children start recognizing people? I haven't looked into it, and I don't want to either. Right now, I just want to take good care of my Down syndrome child. I also want to ask if a Down syndrome child born at less than 6 months can recognize people?Doctor's answer:
Children with Down syndrome have a special face, with wide-set eyes and a flat forehead. At six months, they do not recognize people due to severe mental impairments, such as difficulties in self-care and learning abilities. Generally, if prenatal screening is conducted and Down syndrome is diagnosed, it is best to avoid this birth defect. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for early examination and treatment.
