What is the correct way to hold a child with cerebral palsy?

Patient's question:

My child, now is recovering from cerebral palsy, because of long-term inability to lift the head. Now the whole child has no strength at all. I feel that recovery has improved a bit. I heard that cerebral palsy children need certain techniques to hold them. What kind of help do you want: What is the correct way to hold a cerebral palsy child?

Doctor's answer:

For mothers with cerebral palsy, feeding their children can present various challenges, especially for those with facial muscle spasms and poor swallowing movements. Feeding becomes even more difficult. Children with spastic cerebral palsy are generally not suitable for long-term use in a supine position. The lateral position can improve tendon and muscle tension and promote symmetrical movement. The above suggestions are for the question of "the correct cerebral palsy treatment method," and I hope they are helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
