Detailed Answer:
Send more details pictures.
I couldn't see any history or pictures of your baby.
Fetal alcohol syndrome babies usually have low height, weight, small head, etc.
They may also have learning speech hearing or vision issues too.
Some may be hyperactive or inattentive.

My baby is 12 weeks old. She has a normal size head, normal weight. She was actually born in the 90th percentile. She does has wide spaces eyes and a flat nasal bridge. Her eyes are 26mm apart when the norm for a baby is 22-23mm. I’m trying to upload photos but they say they are too large. Is there another way I can send photos to you?

Hi
You can contact helpdesk website for uploading photos or use online photoresizers
NORMAL WEIGHT, NORMAL SIZE HEAD : FASD chances are very low.
In FASD it is usually the horizontal distance of each eye which is very important ( this could be normal between 18mm to 21 mm for your babys age)
I have attached a visual guide how to measure this distance .
Other two things include smooth philtrum and thin upper lip.

So a flat nasal bridge and wide set eyes have nothing to do with alcohol use in pregnancy? I get so confused because when I google it, it seems like it does.
Brief Answer:
No need to worry
Detailed Answer:
Unless the baby has other features like I had mentioned in my previous answer and the official association link, no need to worry for google impressions
