10 Prader Willi Syndrome Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #2: Poor Muscle Tone
It is important even for babies to have healthy, strong muscles. These will help them in their development as they become more mobile and investigate the big new world they are living in. Their muscle strength is something that is often checked by doctors as an overall health check when they are born.
Poor muscle tone, also known as hypotonia, is another symptom of Prader-Willi syndrome. This means that the baby will not be as strong as other babies and will struggle to hold their own bodies in position. They will often become floppy when held as their muscles will not be strong enough to support their own weight.
