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.
