Question
A baby born at 38 weeks via cesarean section had neonatal respiratory distress syndrome at birth. Now two months and 20 days old, the neck is still unstable, does not easily turn quickly with sound, but can be amused. Will this affect intellectual development?
Answer
It is recommended to seek medical attention early on and have a professional physician conduct a detailed examination to assess the baby’s growth and development. Generally, in the first few months after birth, babies develop very quickly, and the strength of their neck muscles also gradually increases. If there are concerns about intellectual development, it is advisable to consult a pediatrician or child development expert for further assessment and examination.
