Symptoms of cerebral palsy in two-month-old baby

If a two-month-old baby shows some symptoms of cerebral palsy, parents must pay attention and go to the hospital for relevant examinations in time. The symptoms are not obvious when the baby is just two months old, but sometimes the child may have some symptoms of abnormal reflexes, sometimes abnormal muscle tone, often spastic manifestations, and motor development will also lag behind.

Symptoms of cerebral palsy in two-month-old baby

1. The symptoms of infantile cerebral palsy mainly include abnormal reflexes:

Delayed disappearance of various primitive reflexes. Children with spastic cerebral palsy have active tendon reflexes, which can induce ankle clonus and positive Babinski sign.

Second, the symptoms of infantile cerebral palsy mainly include abnormal posture:

Affected by different situations of abnormal muscle tone and disappearance of primitive reflexes, children may have a variety of abnormal limb postures, which may affect their normal motor function. During the physical examination, when the child is placed in the prone, supine, upright position, and pulled from the supine position to a sitting position, abnormal posture and abnormal position of the paralyzed limbs can be found.

3. The symptoms of infantile cerebral palsy mainly include abnormal muscle tone:

Depending on the different clinical types, the spastic type is characterized by increased muscle tone; the hypotonia type is characterized by soft paralyzed limbs, but tendon reflexes can still be elicited; and the athetoid type is characterized by variable dystonia.

4. Motor development is delayed and active movement of paralyzed limbs is reduced:

Children with this disease cannot complete the motor development process that normal children of the same age should have, including gross motor skills such as raising the neck, sitting, standing, and walking alone, as well as fine movements of the fingers.

Pre-pregnancy check-up is to examine the physical health of the couple to determine whether they can have a baby or not, whether they can have the baby now or after the disease is cured, and to remind some women to undergo special check-ups after they become pregnant. In fact, the more important significance of pre-pregnancy check-ups is to provide guidance to young parents on pregnancy, so that they know how to adjust their physical and mental state to the best state before pregnancy and give birth to a healthy baby.
