Patient's question:
My sister-in-law gave birth prematurely at 28 weeks. The baby is still in an incubator, and the condition is still unstable. The doctor said that even if the child survives, there will be significant aftereffects, and there is also a possibility of cerebral palsy. What is the probability of cerebral palsy in premature babies born at 28 weeks?Doctor's answer:
Hello friend, cerebral palsy refers to the immaturity of the brain in infants within one month after birth, characterized by symptoms such as unstable head lifting, thumb clinching, inability to walk, and clenched hands. I suggest taking the baby for a brain CT scan to observe the child's intellectual development, increase nutritional intake in the diet, persist in breastfeeding, improve the child's immunity and metabolism, and reduce the risk of cerebral palsy.
