Rationale: The infant's arms or legs are stiff or rigid, a high risk factor for CP is very low birth weight, if the infant is able to crawl, only one side is used to propel himself or herself, and the infant has feeding difficulties, such as poor sucking and swallowing are potential warning signs of CP. By 8 months of age, if the infant cannot sit up without support, this would be considered a potential warning sign, because this developmental task should be completed by this time. The infant with a potential diagnosis of CP has poor head control by 3 months of age, when head control should be strong.
