Zander did not resemble either parent
A mum who was puzzled that her newborn looked nothing her asked doctors to investigate - and he was diagnosed with a rare chromosome syndrome. As Hannah Doyle, 36, cradled baby son Zander she noticed he did not resemble either parent and had particularly unusual swollen eyes.
Speaking about the moments after his birth, she said: "When I held him to do skin-to-skin contact, he was just different to my other babies and I instantly knew there was something different. When I looked at his eyes, they were very swollen and did look a bit almond like. Hannah, who is separated from Zander's father, said: "I was very shocked because I think I had always known that it was a possibility. My gut instinct was different from when he was born and I'm so grateful for that gut instinct and I believe he was telling me and I was aware of it.
The civil servant, from Halifax, said: "He's doing really well and he's a happy little baby. He's on the prescription formula which is helping him grow.
