Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A baby born with Noonan syndrome may have a short neck, with excess skin where the neck joins the shoulders. This can make the neck seem broad and is sometimes called “webbing.” Frequently there are differences in the eyes, including strabismus (cross-eyedness), nystagmus (eye tremors) and very bright blue-green iris.

Detailed explanation-2: -When your baby is between 1 and 3 months old, she’ll be gradually gaining the strength needed to hold her head up. By around 2 months, while she’s lying on her stomach, you might notice she can raise her head for just a few seconds at a time. These brief moments help strengthen the muscles in the back of her neck.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your baby’s head needs a lot of support during their first few months, until their neck muscles get stronger. Gaining the strength to hold their head up is the foundation on which the development of all your baby’s other movement is based. It will help them to roll over, sit up, crawl and walk .

Detailed explanation-4: -Abdominal distension Most babies’ bellies normally stick out, especially after a large feeding. Between feedings, however, they should feel soft. If your child’s abdomen feels swollen and hard, and if she has not had a bowel movement for more than one or two days or is vomiting, call your pediatrician.
