Question
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift its head, can roll over, has normal appetite, and has no significant abnormalities. However, it sometimes trembles. Can intellectual disability in infants be prevented?
Answer
Folic acid supplementation during pregnancy, regular prenatal examinations such as color Doppler ultrasound and Down syndrome screening, can help prevent the occurrence of intellectual disability in infants. If any issues are found, treatment should begin immediately. Parents should closely monitor their child’s development and seek treatment promptly to avoid the progression of intellectual disability in infants.
