My daughter, who was 7 months old, developed infantile spasms with head nodding and forward bending of the body.

Patient's question:

In early July, recurrence point head leaning forward, both upper limbs raised, both lower limbs adducted

Doctor's answer:

Infantile spasms occur from a few days after birth to 30 months, with the peak onset before 6 months of age. Since infants spend most of their time in bed or swaddled, and young mothers lack experience in childcare, they may easily overlook recurrent episodes, mistaking them for hunger, wet diapers, or discomfort in the head, neck, or body.
