Suggest remedy for floppy limbs in 2 week old baby
Patient: My 2 week grandson has good head control, a good grip, but his limbs seem floppy as though there is no bone there. Birthweight 7lb 14 ounze. Normal delivery. Low blood sugar levels for a couple of days but these were corrected after his first bottle feed ( mother unable to breast feed. Is this normal? Doctor: h I madam, if you feel these floppy limbs are very hypotonic ( no tone) in which the knees almost touch the table by their own when lying on back ; then he might have congrntial hypotonia and this must be carefully evaluated by the pediatrician, I recommend taking him for fully examined .I hope this is helpful
