Question
My baby rarely smiles, and no matter how I try to make him laugh, he won’t. Seeing other children full of energy makes me feel very upset. A few days ago, I took my baby to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it’s caused by cerebral palsy. I want to know the risk of cerebral palsy in newborns.
Answer
Hello, the risk of cerebral palsy in premature babies is relatively high, which is a phenomenon that is more common in clinical practice. The reason why the risk of cerebral palsy in premature babies is so high is because their brains have not yet fully developed, and the likelihood of injury is also very high. This leads to an increased risk of cerebral palsy in premature babies. Suggestion: Based on your description, maintain an optimistic attitude, and don’t worry too much. It’s important to take your child to the hospital for a systematic and comprehensive examination in a timely manner and to start treatment early. Pay attention to hygiene and health in daily life, eat more vegetables and fruits, and drink plenty of water.
