Question

With the recent relaxation of the two-child policy, we’ve been discussing at home and decided to try for a second child. However, I’ve heard that cerebral palsy in children is quite common lately, and I’m worried that I might encounter it in the future. Could you please tell me what the symptoms of cerebral palsy are?

Answer

Children with cerebral palsy exhibit symptoms such as abnormal motor activity and breastfeeding difficulties. Commonly, they may have weak muscles, increased movement, and are easily irritable, crying frequently. Some children may have difficulties with breastfeeding and suckling, even refusing to breastfeed and experiencing choking or vomiting, which can lead to weight gain and slow development. Maintaining a positive mood is very helpful for the recovery from the disease.
