Symptoms of cerebral palsy in a four-month-old baby

Cerebral palsy is a disease that brings a huge blow to the entire family. The treatment of cerebral palsy is relatively slow and difficult. For a four-month-old baby, if the body becomes soft, has fewer spontaneous movements, or the body is often in a stiff state, these may be manifestations of cerebral palsy. In addition, the child develops slowly compared to babies of the same age, which should be a cause for concern.

Symptoms of cerebral palsy in a four-month-old baby

1. Body weakness and decreased spontaneous movement

This is a symptom of low muscle tone, and the baby's head and neck are flabby and unable to lift their head. When he was held in the air, his limbs drooped. The baby rarely moves. It can be seen in one month. If it persists for more than 4 months, it may be diagnosed as severe brain damage, mental retardation or muscle system disease. 2. Body stiffness

This is a symptom of hypertonia, which makes it difficult to perform certain positions, such as dressing the child in a supine position, flexing his body or hugging him. It can be seen in one month. If it persists for more than 4 months, it can be diagnosed as cerebral palsy.

This is an early manifestation of mental retardation. Children learn to lift their heads, sit, and use their hands later than children of the same age. They may use one part of the body more than another. For example, some children often use one hand instead of both hands. It is generally believed that slow reaction at 4 months and no response when called at 6 months can be diagnosed as mental retardation. 4. Abnormal head circumference:

Head circumference is an objective indicator of brain morphological development, and children with brain damage often have abnormal head circumference. 5. Poor weight gain and inability to breastfeed.

Poor aspiration and swallowing. The tongue often pushes milk and food out. Difficulty keeping quiet.

They may be crybaby, irritable, and a poor sleeper, or they may be very quiet, sleep too much, or not smile at 3 months old. If a 3-4 month old baby has strabismus and poor eye movements, it may indicate the presence of brain damage.

Many people do not realize the importance of premarital examinations and do not have a physical examination before marriage. Therefore, pre-pregnancy check-up is like a safety patch, which is particularly important and indispensable. In this environment where life and work are full of pressure and environmental pollution is becoming increasingly serious, pre-pregnancy check-up can be said to be the cornerstone of eugenics.
