Question
My baby was lively and active at birth, but now, two months later, they show signs of stillness. Their eyes do not react, and they do not move when lying down. Does this qualify as an early symptom of cerebral palsy?
Answer
Some early symptoms of cerebral palsy include infants often crying and fussing, having less movement, soft and quiet crying sounds, difficulty with feeding after birth, uncoordinated movements, frequent muscle tone abnormalities, and delayed motor development, among others.
