Symptoms of CP can be noticed as early as the first few months of life, especially if there are significant motor delays or abnormal muscle tone.
Early signs and symptoms of cerebral palsy include:
Delays in reaching developmental milestones
Muscle stiffness or floppiness
Poor head control
Cerebral palsy symptoms may become more apparent around 6 to 12 months when the child’s motor skills are expected to develop.
If you suspect your child may have cerebral palsy, contact a doctor. You may also want to reach out to a birth injury lawyer to seek compensation for medical costs.
