    No. IVF will not ensure the baby not having downsyndrome.

    IVF assists you in getting pregnant.

    it has nothing to do with babys health otherwise

    make sure you eat right and take a good prenatal vitamin.

    and make sure you get prenatal care (earlier the better).. more folic acid may also help (800-1G is best)..
