Question
I want to know how to identify newborn cerebral palsy. My daughter is two months old, and she always struggles to breathe while breastfeeding and cries a lot. I remember she had a slightly purple tint all over her body at birth.
Answer
Common symptoms in children with cerebral palsy include weakness, involuntary movements, or stiff bodies, delayed responses, or abnormal head circumference, difficulty with breastfeeding or failure to smile, hand clenching, or an unstable head. Based on the information provided, there doesn’t seem to be any indication of cerebral palsy. If you are concerned, it is best to have your child examined by a hospital.
