Symptoms of ADHD in 2-month-old babies

Symptoms of ADHD in 2-month-old babies usually include tics, overactivity, and inattention, as follows:

1. Twitching: 2-month-old infants with ADHD often show symptoms of limb twitching, including involuntary twisting, swinging or shaking of the arms and legs. This twitching movement may occur when the baby is still or relaxed, not just when active or excited. These twitching movements may affect the baby's sleep and feeding, making it difficult for the baby to be quiet and eating irregularly.

2. Overactivity: ADHD babies often show overactive behaviors, they will frequently kick, twist their bodies or constantly fiddle with objects around them. This overactivity may make it difficult to comfort and coax the baby to sleep, and it will also make the baby appear more active and restless than babies of the same age in daily activities.

3. Inattention: 2-month-old ADHD infants usually show symptoms of inattention, and they have difficulty staying focused on one thing for a long time. Infants may frequently shift their gaze, be more interested in the surrounding environment and stimulation, and have difficulty focusing on a specific task or toy. This inattention may affect the baby's learning and development.

These symptoms may be due to abnormal neurological development in babies with ADHD. There may be an imbalance of chemicals in the brain that affect motor control and attention. Genetics may also play a role in the development of ADHD.

In addition to the relatively common symptoms mentioned above, there are other possible symptoms, such as irritability, emotional instability, sleep disorders, etc. However, the manifestation of these symptoms may vary depending on the individual differences of the child, so when determining whether a baby has ADHD, it is necessary to consider multiple aspects of manifestation and evaluation. Early identification and intervention are very important to help the baby develop and reduce the severity of symptoms.
