General & Family Physician 's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

IF he is developing normally and there are no deficits in function and what he is to be doing at his age, then it is not likely to be a problem.

If there is any impairment seen then he may need assessment but if this is not the case then as your health visitor said, he is fine.

I hope this helps
