What are the symptoms of intellectual disability in newborns?

The intellectual development of children is very critical. If a child shows symptoms of mental retardation, it is often because of congenital development and genes. Therefore, we must pay more attention to some of the manifestations of children in daily life. We can judge whether they have mental retardation through their daily performance, and carry out corresponding treatment in time through daily behavior to alleviate the symptoms of mental retardation in newborns.

Children usually cry less

Children often cry, when they are hungry or when they have wet their pants. If a child rarely cries, only screams when encountering something, or seems indifferent to external stimuli, it is often a sign of low IQ.

Clumsy movements of children

Children aged 3 to 5 months old especially like to play with their hands, but it is not normal if they still cannot play with their hands after 6 months or like to put toys in their mouths at 2 to 3 years old. Compared with normal children of the same age, children with intellectual disabilities are clumsy and even after they learn to walk they still kick each other with their feet.

4. Children do not laugh or learn to laugh very late

Normal babies will learn to laugh at around 2 months old and can laugh out loud at 4 months old. Not being able to laugh or laughing very late is a sign of mental retardation. Abnormal signs and care of newborns

5. Children's eye function is not fully developed

Generally speaking, a one-month-old baby will use his eyes to pay attention to the surrounding environment. When he is a little older, he will move his eyeballs to track things that interest him. However, children with intellectual disabilities often appear indifferent to the people and things around them.

Children react poorly to sounds

Children are often particularly sensitive to the sounds around them and are afraid of loud noises or loud noises such as thunder. If he does not respond to sounds and seems particularly "honest" even when hearing unusual sounds, it is often a sign of intellectual disability.

The above gives us some understanding about children with intellectual disabilities. These symptoms are relatively common and indicate problems with intelligence. If it is a genetic problem, the effect of treatment is not particularly obvious. If the neonatal patient is affected by the environment, he or she should go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination in time.
