The baby was born over 20 days ago and has developed red spots all over their body. They don't seem to know how to breastfeed, don't cry or fuss, and their eyes are unclear. They lost several two li in weight when returning from the hospital. The doctor suspects it might be a chromosomal issue. Her mouth is small and she lacks a nose bridge. When she wakes up, her eyes are cross-eyed. She loves taking naps. He was born 20 days early. Are these symptoms of chromosomal abnormalities in newborns?Doctor's answer:
According to the information you provided about your baby, it is very likely that he/she has a chromosomal abnormality disease. These types of diseases generally share a common characteristic, which is that the baby's appearance is different from that of a normal baby. For example, the baby may lack a nose bridge or have a relatively wide nose bridge, or may have strabismus or upward-looking eyes. In some more severe cases, the baby may not be able to breastfeed on its own after birth. Therefore, it is recommended that you should have a thorough chromosomal examination as soon as possible to diagnose the specific disease and start treatment early.
