Babies with Down Syndrome (not all), commonly have low muscle tone, also called hypotonia. Due to having hypotonia, babies can have trouble at birth with breathing and feeding related tasks. As they develop, they may reach milestones like sitting, crawling and walking at a later date than children of a similar age. When Shep was born, he came out ready to eat and has had no issues nursing. I can honestly say, I was worried about him not being able to eat on his own and would need to be in the NI
