Do babies with cerebral palsy eat their hands?

Babies with cerebral palsy have brain lesions due to a variety of reasons, ranging from mild motor deficits in mild cases to severe mental retardation in severe cases, to not eating their hands. Generally speaking, if a baby does not eat his/her hands, it is important to be aware of cerebral palsy. Because the development of personality will accompany the child after birth, hand eating and sucking at this time represents a sense of security, especially at bedtime, finger sucking will be more common. Symptoms of cerebral palsy are as follows: 1, the body will be soft and less spontaneous movement, some children can’t move their hands and feet voluntarily even after four months. 2, do not smile, if the child can not smile at two months, and at four months can not laugh loudly, it means mental retardation. 3, the hand can not make a fist, four months of the child if the fingers can not be freely stretched, be aware of cerebral palsy. 4, can’t roll over, there may be some children after birth, many parents think the child is physically lazy, but when the child reaches five or six months, if the child can’t roll over or sit up, it means that the child’s muscles are abnormal and poorly coordinated. Usually, people with cerebral palsy cannot roll over independently. The above symptoms indicate an abnormality in your baby. Seek medical attention as soon as possible for diagnosis and treatment. The symptoms vary from child to child, so it is important to see a doctor as soon as possible if you notice any abnormality.
