Can babies with cerebral palsy kick blankets1

  It is very normal for babies to have the habit of kicking the blanket, because many times babies do not know how to better express their needs. Therefore, if they feel that the blanket is too heavy or their body temperature is too high, kicking the blanket will occur. However, if there are no other movements, it is normal. If the baby has other abnormal symptoms besides kicking the blanket, such as trembling when the legs are raised, it is necessary to go to the hospital to rule out the possibility of cerebral palsy.

  As is well known, the neuropathology of cerebral palsy is often very unstable as children continue to grow. During the infancy period, both left and right motor functions are very simple, and many motor impairments cannot be manifested at all. To truly compare cerebral palsy, it can be identified by the child's delayed motor development or limb asymmetry.

  In fact, during infancy and early childhood, the signs of cerebral palsy in babies do not show typical characteristics, sometimes showing normal muscle tone. However, it should be noted that as the baby grows older, they may experience some obvious symptoms, such as particularly uncoordinated hands and feet, abnormal body shape and posture, gradually increasing muscle tone, and gradually overactive tendon reflexes.
