∙ 14y agoA baby born with Tay-Sachs develops normally in the first 3 to 6 months of life. During the next months - or even years - the baby will progressively lose the ability to see, hear, and move. A red spot will develop in the back of the child's eyes. The child will stop smiling, crawling, turning over, and reaching out for things. By the age of 2, the child may have seizures and become completely disabled. Death usually occurs by the time the child is 5 years old.
