Hello
I was wondering if babies/children with cp are much slimmer than non-cp babies/children?? I have twin boys 15 months, one having Athetoid Quad cp. He eats as much as his twin, but is much slimmer. He isn't mobile at all, but is always moving his arms and legs involuntary. I have been told that this is burning off calories. Is this true?
Thanks
Emma
