Patient's question:
Admitted at 25 days of age, diagnosed with meningitis. The CT report showed decreased density in the middle frontal and midbrain, slightly widened ventricles, mild ischemia and hypoxia. No abnormalities were observed at birth. When held upright, the neck can stand, but there is some backward tilt. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this mom. Based on my experience, your baby currently falls into the category of normal infant development. You should have confidence in your baby, and even more confidence in yourself. Additionally, don't always pick up your child just to test whether they are developing normally. At this small age, lying down should still be the primary position. Remember to talk to your baby often, and ensure they hear you during feeding, drinking, and sleeping. Phrases like "Baby, it's time to eat, you're so good" should be said frequently. Regular communication with your baby is also beneficial for their brain development. Furthermore, I suggest you buy an "Infant Development Chart" and hang it on the wall for easy observation. It's a great idea.
