Floppy Infant / Hypotonia

[ReagansMomy]

Has anyone's child been diagnosed with this? What was the outcome. I am desperate to find someone who has been through this. Please.

I think that might be a good lik=nk since it is from Boston's Children's Hospital website.  Hope this helps!

I didn't know anything about it, so I googled it.  I came across this website that is pretty informative.  Hope it helps :-)

Hypotonia simply means poor muscle tone. There are many causes.

Your pediatrician needs to refer your child for assessment and physical therapy to teach you exercises to do to increase muscle tone.

My youngest had hypotonia in addition to a bunch of other things. He started PT when he was 6 weeks old and was in it until he was 2 1/2. He's a normal active 3 year old now.
