If a baby suffers from cerebral palsy, it is a very serious matter, and the reason why babies develop cerebral palsy is closely related to prenatal and postpartum infections. Generally speaking, the earlier cerebral palsy is treated, the better. So, how to detect cerebral palsy in 3-month-old babies? Let's take a look together below.
Firstly, the main basis for diagnosing whether a baby has cerebral palsy is whether the baby's brain has been damaged. If there are brain damage lesions on the head MRI, it indicates that the baby has cerebral palsy. Generally, after a child is born normally and eats and sleeps well at home, it is impossible for the baby to develop cerebral palsy. Even some premature infants, if they do not have brain damage, will not develop cerebral palsy.
Secondly, the possibility of cerebral palsy in the fetus can also be detected through the symptoms of the baby. For example, a 3-month-old baby may not cry or move much, the child may be relatively quiet, or particularly prone to crying or being frightened, or it may be difficult to breastfeed. However, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a detailed examination of the child to be accurate.
Finally, many children diagnosed with cerebral palsy in the early stages are mainly due to delayed mental development or one-time motor development. However, in this situation, it cannot be determined that one's child has cerebral palsy. It is necessary to observe the child and determine whether they have cerebral palsy based on their living conditions and the continuous changes in their condition.
