What are the causes of poor brain development in babies?

Every child is the same as a family. During the baby's growth and development, what parents fear most is that the child will get sick. Especially many children, who have to suffer from illness at a very young age, make their parents very distressed. Brain maldevelopment is an even bigger blow, as it is directly related to the child's intellectual problems. So what are the causes of poor brain development in babies? Let me give you a detailed introduction below.

1. Harmful factors

Harmful factors during pregnancy, such as: rubella virus, giant nerve factor virus, toxoplasmosis, or high fever, toxemia, hypoxia, shock and other factors affect fetal development; abnormal fetal position during delivery, prolonged labor, severe uterine contractions, umbilical cord knotting or wrapping around the neck, amniotic fluid aspiration, birth trauma, asphyxia and other factors that damage brain nerves can all induce brain maldevelopment.

2. Environmental factors

The mother's own environment may have an impact on the fetus. For example, if the mother has diabetes, the fetus will be affected by her internal environment and may develop congenital heart disease or anencephaly. If the mother has hypothyroidism, the fetus may be prone to bone and dental deformities, cryptorchidism, tongue-protruding dementia, thyroid enlargement, etc., which is also a major cause of brain maldevelopment.

3. Nutritional factors

Malnutrition in the early stage can shorten the division period of cranial nerve factors, and malnutrition in the late stage can reduce the size of each cranial nerve factor. If there is malnutrition in the early stages, especially in the fetal period, even if nutrition improves after birth, intellectual recovery will still be slow or difficult to recover, leading to poor brain development.

Workaround

This disease should be diagnosed by chromosomal and biochemical examination of amniotic fluid at 16 to 20 weeks of pregnancy to promptly identify the cause of mental retardation and terminate the pregnancy if necessary. Strive for early diagnosis and treatment of treatable diseases to reduce the impact on intelligence. Active rescue should be given to infants suffering from premature birth, asphyxia, hypoxia, and kernicterus. We should patiently and meticulously strengthen language and motor training for children so that they can take care of themselves and engage in simple labor.

Brain retardation syndrome is the largest group of diseases that cause disability. Once it causes serious damage to brain tissue, it is extremely difficult to treat, so early prevention is extremely important. Avoid consanguineous marriage; the age of pregnancy should not be too old or too young; for those with a family history of mental illness or one of the man or woman has cerebral retardation syndrome, birth control should be practiced as much as possible; pregnant women should receive prenatal examinations and pregnancy care, prevent infections, and deal with chronic diseases as appropriate; prevent various adverse factors before, during and after delivery that may affect brain development.

Brain development is affected by many factors, such as genetics, environment, education, nutrition and disease. Parents should avoid some adverse factors that may affect children's brain development. On the basis of priority, create a good living environment for children, provide them with rich environmental stimulation, good education and adequate nutrition, and their brains will develop healthily.

The above is what I introduced to you about the reasons for baby’s brain maldevelopment. Parents should avoid these unfavorable factors and strengthen their baby's language and body language training. Create the best environment to promote children's growth and development. In addition, pregnant women must undergo prenatal checkups and understand the medical history of both families before preparing to have a child. If there is a history of hereditary diseases, birth control can be considered.
