Doctor's answer:

Hello, symptoms of cerebral palsy: Sudden stiffness in children: It is difficult to dress a child in certain positions, such as when they are lying on their back, bending their body, or hugging them. Flaccidity: The baby's head and neck are soft and cannot be lifted. When held in the air, their limbs hang down. The baby rarely moves. Developmental delay: Learning to lift their head, sit, and use their hands is slower than that of their peers. They may use one part of their body more than another, such as: some children often use one hand instead of both hands. Poor feeding: Difficulty with sucking and swallowing. The tongue often pushes milk and food out. Difficulty closing the mouth.
