Question
The child, at 18 months old, exhibits abnormal posture while standing and walking – “knee joint flexion” with poor stability in walking, often tripping. In speech, the child can only call out ‘Mommy’ and ‘Daddy’; other words cannot be taught. On the 28th, after examination at the aforementioned hospital, it was diagnosed as cerebral palsy.
Answer
There can be many reasons for a child’s delayed motor development, so based on your description, we cannot confirm it as cerebral palsy; a corresponding examination is needed for diagnosis. We hope you take your child to the hospital for a check-up. The diagnosis of cerebral palsy is very cautious and cannot be made lightly. In daily life, it is important to support the baby and let them practice walking. It could be due to being overweight or a calcium deficiency. It is recommended to give the baby some bone broth and some calcium tablets. This should have a good effect. More exercise is needed.
