I have a 5 month old baby who has low trunk / neck tone and a protruding tongue and a flatten nasal bridge. We were concerned about Downs. We have had a chromosome analysis done and it was normal female. What could be possible causes of the protruding tongue, and the low trunk tone? Cerebral palsey? Should we have a more in-depth chromosome study done? Does the protruding tongue go away as the baby gets older? Thank you
