Early Signs of Cerebral Palsy – Awareness Matters 🌟

Cerebral palsy (CP) is not a disease and it is not contagious. It is a condition that affects movement, posture, and muscle coordination, caused by brain injury before, during, or shortly after birth.

🚼 Early signs in babies and young children may include:

🔹 Delayed milestones (not sitting, crawling, or walking on time)
🔹 Stiff or floppy muscles
🔹 Poor head control
🔹 Using one side of the body more than the other
🔹 Feeding difficulties (sucking, swallowing, drooling)
🔹 Abnormal movements (stiff, jerky, or shaky movements)
🔹 Walking on toes or unusual walking pattern
🔹 Poor balance and coordination
✨ Early detection = Early intervention = Better outcomes

With early therapy (physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy) and good nutrition, children with cerebral palsy can improve their abilities and live meaningful, fulfilling lives.
Let’s stop stigma. Let’s spread awareness. Let’s support families and embrace every unique child. ❤️

When Does Cerebral Palsy Happen?

Cerebral palsy happens when a baby’s brain is injured or does not develop properly before birth, during birth, or shortly after birth—especially in the first 2 years of life when the brain is still developing.

👉 It can happen:
✔️ Before birth – due to problems in brain development, infections during pregnancy, or lack of oxygen
✔️ During birth – from difficult or prolonged labor and lack of oxygen
✔️ After birth – from severe jaundice, infections like meningitis, head injury, or stroke

💡 Important to know:
Cerebral palsy is not a disease and not something a child catches later in life. It is not progressive. With the right nutrition, therapy, and support, children with cerebral palsy can live meaningful and fulfilling lives.

Let’s spread awareness, understanding, and compassion. 💙

Let’s stop letting society define expectations for children and parents.

I went back to this post on my YouTube channel and I tell patient and consistency

Every child is unique and full of potential. Cerebral palsy is not a disease, and with proper nutrition, appropriate therapy, and consistent support, children living with cerebral palsy can lead fulfilling and productive lives.

It’s time we shift from judgment to understanding, and from limitation to possibility.

🧠 Cerebral Palsy Awareness

Did you know?

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a condition that affects movement, posture, and muscle coordination. It is caused by damage to the brain before, during, or shortly after birth.

✨ Important facts:
✔ Cerebral palsy is not contagious
✔ It is permanent but not progressive (it does not get worse)
✔ It affects each person differently
✔ With therapy, medical care, good nutrition, and support, people with CP can live full and meaningful lives

💙 Let’s promote understanding, inclusion, and support for children and adults living with cerebral palsy. Let the society know this
If you are a caregiver who has a child with cp or an adult love your children embrace them and don't be ashamed of them and if you are an adult love yourself and don't allow anyone to lower your self-esteem

As a nutritionist, I also emphasize that proper nutrition is very important for children with CP, especially those with feeding difficulties, to support growth and strength.
