YOGYAKARTA - In some ways, the behavior of baby down syndrome is the same as that of other children. They have the same mood and emotions, like to learn new things, play, and enjoy life.
Quoted from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, down syndrome is a condition where a person has extra chromosomes.
Chromosoms can be referred to as small "packages" of genes in the body. This determines the shape of the baby's body during pregnancy and how the baby's body functions grow in the uterus and after birth.
Generally, a baby is born with 46 chromosomes. A baby with down syndrome has an extra copy of one of these chromosomes, chromodynamics 21.
The medical term for having an extra copy of a chromosome is 'trisomy.' Down Syndrome is also known as Trisomi 21.
These additional copies change the way babies work or baby behavior down syndome. The body and brain develop, which can lead to mental and physical challenges for infants.
Handling at the beginning often helps infants and children with down syndrome to improve their physical and intellectual abilities.
So, what kind of baby down syndrome should we pay attention to? Check out the review below.
Learning to breastfeed or smoke a bottle may take a longer time for a baby to learn. Breastfeeding is certainly good for all babies, including babies who have Down syndrome.
Doctors, nurses, breastfeeding therapists, or other mothers who have babies with down syndrome will provide tips and special training.
Reporting from Healthy, when born, babies with down syndrome actually have the same size as other babies, but they tend to grow slower. They may look weak and have difficulty lifting their heads, but usually this is getting better.
Low muscles can also mean that babies have difficulty smoking and breastfeeding, which can affect their weight.
Cognitive disorders, problems in thinking and learning, usually occur in infants or children down syndrome and generally range from mild to moderate.
Physical development in children with Down syndrome is often slower than the development of children without Down syndrome.
For example, due to poor muscle tonnes, children with down syndrome may be slow to learn to reverse, sit, stand, and walk.
Despite this delay, baby behavior down syndrome can continue to carry out the learning process and participate in physical training activities such as other children.
However, it may take longer for baby down syndrome than other children to reach a milestone.
When a teenager and an adult, a person with a down syndrome is asked to do a motor task in an experimental situation. For example, tapping the right button when the red light turns on or tapping the left button when the green button turns on, their reaction time becomes slower than their mental age.
A number of studies, for example from Ben Sacks, and Sueung, concluded that balance is a particular difficulty and continues to be a weakness as a teenager.
This may explain why many young people with down syndrome find it difficult to ride bicycles.
Children with down syndrome may need more exercise to reach the same level of strength as other children.
Almost all babies born with down syndrome become intellectually disabled, but the level of disorder will vary widely.
Despite the defects, most babies with down syndrome are able to learn basic tasks, they only take a little longer.
Several studies have also concluded a slower time (compared with suitable mental age control) for the components of the task movement as well as the reaction time.
When people are not able to express themselves or understand others easily, they will become frustrated.
Thus, it has an impact on the behavior of down syndrome babies who often experience this difficulty.
It is better to consider what the baby wants to communicate to you through its behavior.
Teach them a better way of communicating, for example signs or other signs, ways that are not too aggressive to express anger and others.
