What should I do if my child can't roll over at five months old?

We all know that many children can roll over by themselves when they are five months old, but some children cannot roll over at five months. This makes many parents very worried whether their children are developing slowly or have other diseases. Relevant experts said. If a child cannot roll over at five months old, he may be suffering from cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is a very serious brain disease. If it is not treated in time, it will cause great pain to children.

A five-month-old baby cannot roll over. Chinese medicine experts pointed out that there are individual differences in the development of babies. Some turn over earlier than others. However, parents should also pay attention. If the baby is overweight, too fat, and does not have enough strength, it will be difficult for him to turn over. But if the situation persists, you should be careful, as this may be a symptom of cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy refers to non-progressive, permanent central motor dysfunction caused by various reasons during the growth and development of brain tissue, including the fetal and neonatal periods. Among them, motor dysfunction is the earliest problem. Parents should be very careful. If this happens, go to a regular hospital for treatment.

Other symptoms of cerebral palsy in babies

1. Baby patients may be overly quiet and have little active movement.

2. The baby has difficulty feeding after birth, such as weak sucking, weak crying or crying too much, and is easily frightened.

3. High-risk factors for cerebral palsy are found before, during and after the child is born. Such as infection during pregnancy, rubella, severe pregnancy-induced hypertension, asphyxia at birth, premature babies, severe jaundice, intracranial hemorrhage in children after birth, etc.

4. Abnormal muscle tension and abnormal posture often occur, such as flexion and adduction of the fingers of both hands, clenched fists, internal rotation of the forearms, and backward tilt of the head and neck.

5. Motor development is delayed. Children cannot hold their heads upright or lift their heads unsteadily when lying prone, cannot support weight with their forearms, stand on tiptoes or have their lower limbs too straight or crossed.

The above are the possible reasons why a child cannot roll over at five months. We all know that every child is the apple of his parents’ eyes, and a little change will cause parents to worry. So if your baby still cannot roll over at five months, you should take your baby to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in time, so that you can understand the reasons as soon as possible and achieve early detection and early treatment.
