Can babies with cerebral palsy have cockfighting eyes

  The main reason for cerebral palsy in babies is due to factors such as hypoxia and infection before and after birth, which cause non progressive damage to the brain. However, because the symptoms of cerebral palsy are not very obvious in the early stages, many cerebral palsy babies miss the best treatment opportunity. Recently, some mothers have asked me, what are the symptoms of cerebral palsy babies, and do they have cockfighting eyes?

  

Can babies with cerebral palsy have cockfighting eyes1

  In fact, the appearance of cockfighting eyes in babies does not necessarily indicate cerebral palsy. The main reason for cockfighting eyes is that some of the baby's eye muscles have not developed well, causing the baby's eyes to have congenital eye contact, or the baby's nose bridge is wide, causing the baby to have symptoms of farsightedness. Therefore, when this situation occurs, to avoid affecting the baby's vision function in the future, it is recommended that parents take the baby to the ophthalmology department to see a doctor for examination and treatment.

  Generally, it is possible to observe whether a baby has cerebral palsy through the following aspects: first, observe the baby's posture. When the baby is lying on their back, their feet will be excessively extended, while their hands will be bent and clenched. In addition, the baby's activity will decrease, and their hands will not swing, and their legs cannot fly freely, making it difficult for parents to change diapers. In addition, the baby's sucking and swallowing abilities are insufficient, resulting in frequent spitting and inability to absorb nutrients, and weight gain.

  As the baby grows up, it can also be noticed that they have difficulty falling asleep, and they do not know how to repeatedly play with their hands in front of them. By 7-8 months, they cannot learn to sit alone or crawl on their own. In addition, it can be found that the baby's voice development is abnormal, they are not very good at pronunciation, their laughter is strange and protruding, and they do not respond to external stimuli. Their expressions are also very dull.

  So parents must carefully observe the baby's behavior and movements from 2 months old, especially for high-risk infants, such as difficult to conceive, premature infants, and infants with asphyxia. They should strive to detect abnormal behaviors in the baby as early as possible, and once discovered, take the baby to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
