hi
Flat nasal bridge is sometimes found in families and unless the baby has breathing problems,or frquent nasal blocks due to cold, there is nothing to worry.You may show an ENT doctor if required,it doesnt seem to be downs syndrome if babys milestones are normal according to your pediatrician.if no breathing problems, do not worry .Just keep in touch with a pediatrician every six months to monitor mile stones of development
thanks
