Chloe's was born a Floppy Infant! Medline Plus describes.Hypotonia is often a sign of abnormality in the case of a newborn or older infant, and may suggest the presence of central nervous system dysfunction, genetic disorders, or muscle disorders. Hypotonic infants rest with their elbows and knees loosely extended, while infants with normal tone tend to have flexed elbows and knees. Head control may be poor or absent in the floppy infant with the head falling to the side, backward or forward. These are the problems Chloe had at birth. With supervised exercises and medical monitoring of her asthma and allergies we have gotten to this point. Thanks to Medline Plus for this description!
