First, you'll want to get the baby's medical records so that you can find out about any special needs or treatments they may need. You should also talk to your doctor to see if there are any specific precautions or steps you should take when caring for the child. It is important to be patient and understanding of their condition and provide them with as much comfort and support as possible. Additionally, it is essential to make sure the child has access to regular dental checkups, speech therapy, and other necessary services.
