Why are eight-month-old babies' legs weak?

An eight-month-old baby should be able to sit up independently. Some babies can crawl and their legs can support their weight when standing up. They can stand for a while. If an eight-month-old baby has weak legs, it is a worry for every parent. It is recommended that parents take their children to the hospital for early detection of problems and timely intervention and training. So why do eight-month-old babies have weak legs? What are the causes? The following is a detailed introduction.

Parents can take their babies to check for trace elements to see if they are calcium deficient.

If your baby is calcium deficient, give him some calcium supplements under the guidance of a doctor and take him out to bask in the sun more often.

There are many causes of cerebral palsy in children, which can be summarized as follows: parents smoking, drinking, taking drugs, mother suffering from mental illness, diabetes during pregnancy, vaginal bleeding, gestational hypertension, placenta previa, threatened abortion or taking contraceptives to treat infertility, pregnancy-preserving drugs, etc.; high parity, premature birth, history of miscarriage, twins or multiple births, fetal growth retardation, intrauterine infection, intrauterine distress, placental abruption, placental dysfunction, umbilical cord around the neck, forceps delivery, long breech presentation, premature or post-term low birth weight babies, asphyxia and aspiration pneumonia after birth, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, kernicterus, intracranial hemorrhage, infection, poisoning and malnutrition, etc.

Possibly a neurological disorder

Generally, babies can lift their heads at 2 months, roll over at 3 months, sit at 6 months, crawl at 8 months, and walk at one year old. Your baby has poor muscle tone, so you must do a head CT scan and EEG to rule out the possibility of cerebral palsy. You must give him rehabilitation training.

Suggestions: Pregnancy-induced hypertension or diabetes during pregnancy, umbilical cord around the neck or amniotic fluid contamination during delivery, asphyxia after birth, premature birth, and other abnormal birth history of the baby may lead to hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. The first three months are the fastest development period of the nervous system. Giving gangliosides to nourish the nerves will not leave sequelae. Go to a regular hospital for regular treatment as soon as possible.
