Question
Because I feel the baby’s head is not very stable, plus the thumb is curled in, when lying on the chest, the head tilts to one side and the sense of balance is not good, the left hand cannot hold things, and the coordination between the left and right hands is poor, and the baby cannot roll over. After going to the hospital for a check-up, is it developmental delay? What should I do?
