Patient's question:
My baby was born prematurely at 32 weeks, weighing 3.48 pounds at birth. Now he's 5 months old and weighs around 14 pounds. He still doesn't actively reach for things or roll over. He can stand and when crawling, he lifts his head up. He can also make me laugh. When I hold him, his hands don't automatically rest on my shoulders. There's a risk of him developing cerebral palsy, and I'm very worried. Should we consider doing rehabilitation?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is difficult to feed after birth, such as weak sucking, unstable head or head upward, unable to use arms to support weight at four months, too straight toes or lower limbs when standing, or crossing. Gestational infection, rubella, severe preeclampsia, birth asphyxia, premature infants, severe jaundice, intracranial hemorrhage after birth, and easy to develop cerebral palsy. Increase the amount of speech and activity. Parents should not lose confidence because they cannot communicate with their child. Whether the child understands. Family members should take every opportunity to talk to their children. This can also alleviate the child's symptoms.
