Question
My baby is just 3 months old, and I’ve noticed that he always tilts his head back. I’ve heard that this might be a sign of cerebral palsy. What are the symptoms of baby cerebral palsy?
Answer
Baby cerebral palsy may manifest as either overly soft or overly stiff body, weak breastfeeding, inability to lift the eyes, and inability to follow visual objects. Coordination between hands, mouth, and eyes is reduced, making it difficult to grasp food or place it accurately in the mouth. The lower limbs cannot support the body, and the baby cannot sit steadily. Patients should seek immediate systematic and standardized examinations at a regular top-grade hospital to receive treatment as soon as possible for their specific symptoms.
