Symptoms of hypotonia can vary widely depending on the underlying cause but often include:
1. Poor Muscle Tone: The infant may feel limp or floppy when held. 2. Delayed Motor Skills: Delays in achieving milestones such as head control, sitting, and walking. 3. Feeding Difficulties: Weakness in the muscles involved in sucking and swallowing can lead to feeding challenges. 4. Breathing Problems: In severe cases, weakened respiratory muscles can lead to breathing difficulties.
