Question

A 6-month-old baby, although with normal hearing and facial expressions, has been diagnosed by the doctor as having incomplete development of intracranial brain tissue with significant gaps. Despite the child’s actual performance being better than the CT scan results, the parents still want to know whether medication treatment is needed and how it should be carried out.

Answer

Poor brain development can lead to severe consequences, and if not addressed promptly, it may affect the child’s growth and trigger a series of problems. It is recommended that parents consider the following measures: first, teach the baby to learn feeding behaviors, strive to eat independently as soon as possible, and consider nasal feeding if calorie intake is insufficient. When changing clothes, choose appropriate positions, such as sitting down to remove clothes, for ease of operation. Conduct personal hygiene training based on the baby’s age, cultivate the habit of regular urination and defecation, and teach the baby to signal adults before defecation as they grow older.
