Question
My child is three months old but seems to have cerebral palsy. However, I haven’t taken him to the hospital for a check-up yet. I want to know what symptoms the child might have if he has cerebral palsy?
Answer
The child is still too young for his brain development to be fully mature, so it’s best to wait until after one year to determine if cerebral palsy is present. There can also be developmental issues in children under one year of age. Around the three-month mark, the child may experience the following developmental problems: unable to lift his head, poor feeding, unable to be amused, and unable to be held. Cerebral palsy is a possibility, but specific situations would require a hospital visit for relevant checks.
