Since brain damage causes cerebral palsy, try to prevent brain damage. This can be done by that the pregnant mother looks after herself by having a balanced, nutritious diet, because the mother's nutrition is very important in proper brain development and growth of the fetus. Smoking, drinking alchohol can cause mothers to give birth to low-weight babies and harm their brain development. Parents should see a doctor during pregnancy to reduce fetal brain damage, doctors can alert them if the diet is not healthy and/or balanced enough. Vaccines prevent bacterial and viral infections like Rubella that may cause cerebral palsy.
