Patient's question:
There are too many children born with cerebral palsy around me, and I myself am a woman planning to get pregnant, so I am particularly concerned about this issue. Many people only discover that their children have cerebral palsy after they are born, one or two years later, missing the best treatment window. Therefore, I am very interested in learning how to prevent it postpartum.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the prevention of cerebral palsy after birth mainly involves:1. Preventing the occurrence of infectious diseases:
(1) Implement hospital delivery.
(2) Pay attention to protecting the newborn's skin.
(3) Keep the newborn's umbilicus dry and clean.
(4) Closely monitor the changes in jaundice.
(5) Pay attention to observing the anterior fontanelle.
(6) Implement breastfeeding.
2. Establish high-risk infant records, conduct neonatal neurobehavioral assessments, and perform regular check-ups (once every 1–2 months) while also conducting Vojta postural reflex tests.
