Three-month-old infants with eyes that do not follow objects may have cerebral palsy, but it may also be a case of normal or poor vision. Note that you cannot judge cerebral palsy by a single symptom.
1. Cerebral palsy: The manifestation of cerebral palsy varies according to the cause and type. Early symptoms of cerebral palsy in infants less than 6 months old mainly include weakness, reduced voluntary movement, rigidity, slow response, abnormal head circumference, poor weight gain, body twisting, head instability, squinting, and inability to reach out and hold things, etc., so you can’t rely on a single symptom to confirm the diagnosis.
2. Normal situation: newborns in 1 ~ 3 months of imperfect development of vision, there may be the phenomenon of not chasing objects, but at this time the baby has been able to fix vision, more sensitive to color, you can shake in front of the baby’s eyes brightly colored objects, to help the baby practice chasing objects.
3. Poor vision: the eyes do not chase objects may also have vision problems, such as retinopathy, optic nerve damage, etc., which can lead to vision loss and thus cause not chase objects.
It is recommended that after a three-month-old baby’s eyes do not follow objects, it is important to seek medical attention for brain CT and vision tests to determine the exact cause. Once the diagnosis of cerebral palsy is confirmed, it is necessary to go to a regular hospital for rehabilitation training, which can improve the function and quality of life of the child.
