Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello,

From the clinical features you have mentioned, it looks like your son had some dysmorphic features which are not normal. Having no concentration till 3 months of age is also not normal. I would suggest you go for genetic counselling before planning subsequent pregnancy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nirubhan Bharathy, Pediatrician
