Question
A neighbor’s sister had a baby last year, but the child doesn’t like to sleep, cries without a sound, doesn’t enjoy eating, has difficulty swallowing, and their limbs are not coordinated. They can’t open their legs when urinating and are not able to sit up at one year old. It was diagnosed as having cerebral palsy. Besides this, what are the characteristics of crying in cerebral palsy babies?
Answer
Children with cerebral palsy have congenital brain developmental abnormalities, so their development in all aspects is slower than that of other normal children, and they often do not cry or cause trouble, with their cries being relatively soft. It is difficult to completely cure this disease. Only family members can pay more attention to care in daily life. There is a possibility of undergoing appropriate rehabilitation exercises and trying to train to restore daily living functions.
