What Is CHARGE Syndrome?
8. Growth Problems
The earliest months and years are the most important when it comes to growth and development. If a child does not develop to their potential early on then they are unlikely to reach their full potential in adulthood. Unfortunately for children with CHARGE syndrome, they are likely to experience difficulties in this regard.
Children born with CHARGE syndrome are likely to be born at a normal weight. However, their growth after birth is likely to be stunted due to various medical problem including problems with their heart and with nutritional problems. It is important to help ensure that any child gets as much nutrition as possible to help them develop to their full potential.
