After birth, the baby's two small hands are mostly in a state of clenching fists and hooking inside. In fact, this is a self-protection posture for newborns, after all, it takes time to adapt from the fully enclosed environment of the mother to the fully open external environment. But some parents are concerned about the phenomenon of wrist hook, so what is the situation with the baby's wrist hook?
From birth to one month after birth, babies generally exhibit a fist clenching state where other fingers wrap around the thumb. This is mainly due to the immature development of the baby's nervous system, as the baby is too young to control their behavior and their ability to move their hands is limited. Therefore, the inner hook of the fist clenching is normal, and as long as the developmental indicators are normal, there is no need to worry.
But as the baby grows older, if the wrist still shows an internal hook shape, parents should pay attention and observe comprehensively to see if there are any other abnormal phenomena in the baby, such as shaking the head and shaking the brain. If there are other abnormalities, they may be related to cerebral palsy, but they must go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis.
If young children experience physical disabilities during their growth and development, such as abnormal walking or a tendency to tiptoe on the ground, or even language barriers, delayed intellectual development, or abnormal vision, parents must be vigilant as it may be a sign of cerebral palsy.
