How do i find out if my baby is brain damaged?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No short answer: Some signals after birth can signal the possibility of brain injury. Difficulty stabilizing breathing & temperature, seizures, failure to establish a feeding pattern etc. Normal early course is no guarantee.. Data published in the 80's showed some CP kids had nl preg/labor/delivery & no early signs. A developmental eval & a variety of tests can pick up some problems early.
