Question

My daughter was born via cesarean section at 35 weeks and 5 days. She was hospitalized for jaundice on the fifth day after birth. Today, she is three months old. The child does not cry much, feeds normally, but has experienced a few instances of choking and vomiting in the past few days. The child can roll over but does not jump much and needs assistance to lift her head. She likes to clench her fists and kick her legs. When held, she needs support for her back to stabilize her head. The child does not follow sounds well with her head turning.

Answer

The current behavior of the child cannot be determined to have a problem, but vigilance is needed. Although cerebral palsy cannot be confirmed yet, there may be growth and development disorders. It is recommended to take the child to see a doctor as soon as possible, have a pediatric rehabilitation doctor conduct an examination and assessment, and perform growth and development tests to determine if there are any issues with the child. If there are problems, rehabilitation training and treatment should begin immediately.
