Due to the asphyxia at birth, he may have suffered some amount of brain damage as a result of which his miletones are delayed. He needs to undergo early physiotherapy and intervention program to ensure proper development of milestones. Read the article on "CEREBRAL PALSY" on www.pediatriconcall.com for further information:
