Patient's question:
My baby was born prematurely at 36 weeks, and now that he's four and a half months old, he still can't roll over, doesn't actively grab things, and his eyes seem unfocused. He's also not very sensitive to sounds, though his four limbs move normally. I'm very worried—is this a sign of cerebral palsy?What kind of help do I need: What are the common signs of cerebral palsy in babies?
Doctor's answer:
Mainly manifested as abnormal movements and intelligence. Suddenly, some postures become stiff, the head and neck become soft, the head does not lift up, and the limbs hang down. Developmental delay: learning to lift the head, sit, and use both hands, but later than peers, poor feeding: poor sucking and swallowing. The tongue often pushes milk and food, and it is difficult to close the mouth. May cry, be irritable, sleep poorly or very quiet, sleep too much, or not laugh within 3 months.
