At Children’s Minnesota, we’re experts at treating issues that are more common in kids with this condition, including:
- Growth and nutrition: We help track your child’s growth, meet unique diet and nutritional needs and address feeding problems.
- Thyroid function: Testing and treatment for conditions in which the thyroid gland produces too much or too little thyroid hormone.
- Gastrointestinal issues: Management of constipation, diarrhea, acid reflux and food allergies.
- Vision and hearing: Regular screenings and treatment for eye and ear issues.
- Musculoskeletal development: We can address weak muscle tone and loose ligaments and promote healthy physical development.
- Sleep: Expert treatment for apnea (irregular breathing during sleep) as well as behavioral strategies to help your child settle in and sleep through the night.
Some Down syndrome-related problems require special handling. To help, we coordinate referrals to a wide variety of sub-specialists and specialty clinics, including but not limited to our cardiovascular program, physical rehabilitation program and the feeding clinic.
