What’s wrong with a 100-day-old baby who can’t hold his head up?

Babies who are 100 days old and can’t raise their heads may be normal physiological phenomenon, or it may be related to congenital strabismus, cerebral palsy and other factors.
1. Normal physiological phenomenon: most small children are able to raise their heads on their own at 100 days, but there are inter-individual differences, and some babies may be slightly delayed. More exercise is needed in normal times, and if necessary, the pediatrician should evaluate the baby.
2. Congenital cervical tilt: It is caused by the fibrous spasm of the sternocleidomastoid muscle on one side, which leads to the deformity of the neck and the head and face to the side of the disease. The baby’s head will be tilted to the affected side, and there may be limited neck movement and inability to raise the head at 100 days.
3. Cerebral palsy: The child’s brain is damaged, resulting in backward motor development and central motor disorders, which are manifested as disorders of gross motor functions such as lifting, rolling over, sitting, crawling, standing and walking, as well as fine motor functions (e.g. grasping and gripping).
If the baby is 100 days old and still can’t lift his head, it may be related to calcium deficiency and lack of exercise, etc. It is recommended to go to the hospital in time, improve the examination to clarify the cause of the disease, and then give targeted treatment or therapy under the guidance of the doctor.
