Erb's palsy: this condition is caused by birth position. The weakness can last months-years in some babies. Physical therapy can enhance strength and movement. Usually, most babies resolve this in time, but can be permanent if there is nerve impairment. Follow along with your pedi MD. Welcome to health tap, Dr. Ivy Fisher
