I thought I would share my experience of breastfeeding as a mother of two children - one with Down Syndrome - to encourage more mother's to do likewise.
Most children learn to wave and clap and point long before they are able to speak and it is this same method with baby signing that can teach your child to communicate at a much earlier stage.
Common health problems found in children with Down Syndrome included congenital heart defects, glue ear, upper respiratory infections and hypothyroidism and should be tested routinely.
