Question
Is it normal for a 2-month-old baby to always look up or to one side when held, not liking to look straight ahead?
Answer
It is a normal phenomenon for patients with cerebral palsy to have visual impairment. Young children often prefer to look in one fixed direction while in a cradle or on a bed, and this is a common occurrence. Generally, it does not affect the child’s eyesight. For patients with cerebral palsy, future development depends on the efforts and support of their parents. It is recommended that if any discomfort is noticed in the child, timely medical treatment should be sought at a hospital.
