Hello there,
It is with sorrow that I must tell you that your child will face learning and feeding difficulties like most children with Down syndrome.
These children face intellectual disabilities and learning problems. They have suffer from speech delay and language issues.
There is no cure for Down syndrome. The parents should ensure that the child gets the best possible supportive care.
Wishing your child all the very best.
Take care.
