Will children with cerebral palsy smile when they sleep?

Cerebral palsy is a fetal central nervous system disease. When a fetus suffers from cerebral palsy, it will show symptoms of slow movement or even complete lack of motor skills. For parents, the earlier they discover that their baby has leukoderma, the better, because the earlier the discovery, the higher the chance of cure. Children with cerebral palsy are in a state of dementia for a long time. Many parents wonder whether children with cerebral palsy will smile while sleeping.

Children with cerebral palsy can laugh, but they will not laugh until they are very old. Children with cerebral palsy are a nightmare for the family. This is a brain disease that is difficult to cure. Babies will have more symptoms after the onset of the disease, but most children with cerebral palsy will have no motor reflexes. For example, if a normal four-month-old baby falls while standing, he will have a protective reflex and his head will automatically stay in the middle position. If he leans to the left or right at 5-6 months old, he can stretch out his upper limbs to maintain body balance. However, children with cerebral palsy are particularly weak in these protective reflexes and the ability to maintain balance, or even lack them.

Many babies with cerebral palsy will show delayed motor development and cannot achieve the ability to roll over, sit up, crawl, and walk. Babies with cerebral palsy will show varying degrees of motor development delay. For example, their gross motor skills such as sitting alone, standing, crawling, holding their heads high, and walking are slower than those of normal children. Their fine finger movements are also slower than those of normal babies. There is not much difference in movements during the neonatal period, but their sucking ability is very poor. They will stop drinking milk after a while. Moreover, the difference between babies with cerebral palsy and normal children becomes more obvious as they get older.

Children with cerebral palsy have stiff and inflexible movements, and are poor at performing fine motor movements, such as pinching beans and grasping objects. There are many children with spastic cerebral palsy who will show varying degrees of hypotonia in the neonatal period, but with the increase of age, the muscle tone will gradually increase, mainly manifested in the extension and adduction of the lower limbs, sometimes in a scissors shape, the flexor tone of the upper limbs will increase significantly, and the hands will often be in a fist shape, affecting the baby's development.

After reading the introduction, we know the typical symptoms of children with cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy cannot be ignored. Not only does it place a heavy burden on the family, but it also prevents the children from experiencing the joy of life. However, cerebral palsy can be prevented, so pregnant friends are reminded to pay attention to prevention during pregnancy, and also to have prenatal checkups, and not to take chances with children with cerebral palsy.
