How to identify infant cerebral palsy

Patient's question:

When the baby was born, everything was fine. When feeding, he didn't have enough suction. At four months, a baby of average size can already roll over, but my baby can't even hold his head up straight. His limbs are weak, and he doesn't move much. It's very strange. Sometimes he seems to not listen when spoken to, and looks a bit slow and simple.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, how long does your condition need to be treated? Children with cerebral palsy are usually slower in development than normal children, and they may have varying degrees of impairment in intelligence, language, and motor skills. Therefore, parents often regard the child's slow response as a criterion for diagnosing cerebral palsy. In fact, for children, the earlier the cerebral palsy is detected, the better. However, if a single low judgment is obviously wrong, the manifestations of cerebral palsy will be different at different stages. You should take your child to some cerebral palsy hospitals for an examination to check the child's condition.
