Rationale:
1. Ventral and atrial septal defects are common in babies with FAS.
2. FAS babies are easily overstimulated, and have feeding difficulties, leading to more crying than an average baby.
3. Facial characteristics of the FAS child include a broad and flat nasal bridge, wide-set eyes, small chin, and smooth philtrum.
4. FAS babies are easily overstimulated, and tend to cry more if swaddled, cuddled, or rocked. A dark and quiet environment helps keep the child calm.
