2. Facial characteristics of the FAS child include a broad and flat nasal bridge, wide-set eyes, small chin, and smooth philtrum.
3. 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.
4. Ventral and atrial septal defects are common in babies with FAS.
