As a parent, you know your child best. If you feel that they may not be developing at the rates they should be then seek further explanation. Just because they don't develop at the same time as others doesn't make them any less capable of success.
If your baby isn't responding to actions or sounds and they cant hold themselves up, or show affection, or cry, and cant make coordination properly it is advised to talk to your health care provider.
There are early intervention services that can benefit the growth of your child, it greatly improves delays and helps them succeed faster.
