Floppy Baby Syndrome

P94.2

Most babies enter the world with good muscle tone. It lets them flex and flail their little limbs. Newborns with hypotonia won’t have strong arm and leg movements. As they get older, “floppy” babies will miss important milestones, like being able to lift their heads when they’re on their tummies. Other common symptoms include:

• Poor head control. When your baby can’t control their neck muscles, their head will fall forward, backward, or to the side.
• Feeling limp, especially when you lift them. If you pick them up with your hands beneath their armpits, their arms may raise without resistance -- as if they could slip through your hands.
• Arms and legs hang straight. Babies usually rest with their arms and legs flexed -- there’s a slight bend in their elbows, hips, and knees. But children with hypotonia don’t.

Ridiculousness!
