Abnormal Appearance of a BABY because of Alcohol

A Deformed Baby

Alcohol affects total body development of the baby from head to toe. Immediately noticeable is the smallest of the head, the flattened face, and the drooping eyelids. Other typical facial characteristics are: small eyes (due to shorten eyelids); a long, thin upper lip, the normal meddle nose-to-tip groove being absent; the nose shorten and upturned; skin folds at the inner corners of the eyes; and unusually small or large lower jaw.

Fortunately not all these outward deformities are present in every child with FAS.
