Question
My relative’s child is now one year old but still cannot sit up. Everyone has noticed that the child’s coordination skills are very poor. What should we do?
Answer
The treatment for cerebral palsy mainly focuses on rehabilitation training, and timely surgical intervention should be considered based on the child’s training progress to create better conditions for recovery. In terms of diet, it is important to enhance nutrition and choose high-protein foods, as proteins are the foundation of intellectual activities and are related to brain memory and thinking. Milk, soy milk, eggs, yogurt, and meats are all rich in protein. It is recommended to consume a variety of vitamins, as vitamin A can enhance the body’s resistance and promote brain development; the B vitamins can improve various metabolic functions and increase appetite; vitamin D aids in the absorption and utilization of calcium.
