Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Those signs are seen in Trisomy 21 i.e Downs syndrome, but Karyotyping (Chromosomal analysis)is the gold standard test to say whether your child is having Downs syndrome or not.
Hope this answers your question.
Wishing your child good health.
