Hi,
Thanks for writing in HCM.
Well, from some of the things what you have described, it appears that there is some sort of delay in achieving physical and mental milestones in the child.
This certainly needs evaluation and intervention.
One of the reasons for this could be genetic defects, foetal alcohol syndrome, fragile x syndrome or inborn error of amino acid/carbohydrate metabolism.
Kindly seek help from Pediatrician immediately as early intervention is key in helping your child overcome any developmental delays.
Wish you all the best.
