Cerebral palsy is a "catch-all" term, not a specific diagnosis- regardless
of the images that come to mind when you hear the phrase. I've been
taught by some physicians that you shouldn't "diagnose" cp before 6
months old.
Sounds llike mom needs an appointment with her child's pediatrician to
clear up this issue if she's confused and worried.
