Question
A parent describes how their 10-month-old baby frequently crosses their legs and pulls their feet in, with their small hands clenched tightly and exerting force. This behavior has been occurring since around the fifth or sixth month. The baby does this while lying down or preparing for a nap and sweats a lot. The parent has taken the baby to the hospital for a trace element test, and the results were normal. The baby has already learned to crawl and can stand with support.
Answer
Based on the parent’s description, the baby’s condition may be related to certain pediatric neurological disorders. It is recommended that the parent take the baby to a pediatric neurology department for a consultation, undergo an EEG examination to determine the diagnosis, and decide whether further treatment is necessary. These suggestions may be helpful to the parents, and we wish the baby a healthy recovery.
