How should children with cerebral palsy be cared for on a daily basis?

Patient's question:

The baby, at 9 to 12 months old, was found to be unable to lift his head back up like normal children. When held in his hands, he kept tilting backward. His feet were weak and drooped. He couldn't walk normally. His expression was very indifferent. He was always sleepy and had difficulty feeding. The doctor's examination concluded that he had cerebral palsy.

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description of the child's condition, all of the child's symptoms are caused by cerebral palsy. Do you want to know how to care for them? It is recommended that you choose soft clothes that are easy to wear. When changing clothes, place them on the heavier side. You should not sleep in a supine position for long periods. You should lie on your side, placing a small pillow between your legs, and should consume high-calorie, high-protein, and high-vitamin easily digestible foods. Cultivate the child's self-care ability. Parents must be patient and persistent in treatment.
