Patient's question:
Doctor, my baby is now four months old. Recently, when I hold her, she will push her head back hard, and she also swings when feeding. Sometimes her fingers curl inward, and other times they curl outward. When I dress her, her hands are straight and don't bend. When I put her down, her legs also cross. I searched online and am very worried it might be high muscle tone (female, 28 years old).Doctor's answer:
From this situation, it is more likely that the possibility of calcium deficiency should be considered. It is recommended to actively implement a thorough check to confirm the specific situation, and if necessary, start with vitamin D or calcium supplements. After a newborn is born, it is a gradual process of adapting to the external environment. As the frequency of upright holding increases, the baby's bone support strength and muscle tension will gradually improve. It is suggested to be patient and practice, accompanying the child through their transformation with care.
