What should I do if my child is nine months old and doesn't know how to reach for objects?

Patient's question:

The child is nine months old and still does not know how to reach for objects, sit up, or roll over. He was born prematurely at seven months. What could be the reason for this?

Doctor's answer:

Whether the child has feeding difficulties, weak sucking ability, weak or frequent crying, easily startled, excessive quietness, or limited active movement after birth. Observe the child's behavior. If these symptoms appear, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a cerebral palsy examination. The treatment of cerebral palsy requires comprehensive and diverse integrated therapy. In addition to treating motor disorders, interventions are also needed for associated language disorders, intellectual disabilities, epilepsy, and behavioral abnormalities. It is also important to cultivate the child's ability to face daily life, engage in social interactions, and pursue a certain career in the future.
