Answer: Thanks for the reply 
His delivery was very smooth but the mum had force labour cramps for like 2 weeks  It was not on a constant pain but it was on and off  I was sever at a stage that induce labour was suggested however on the administration of the drip the baby refuse to come 5 days after the baby came naturally He was healthy and fine although he had small jaundice which was treated The babys development was quite good but at 6 month the mum observed that he is not gaining weight and he is not developing as he ought to 
In terms of grasping  He can grasp  But to really open his palms to grasp it by himself is slightly difficult for him 
He is eagerly desiring to crawl  Since when he sits he makes effort to move himself  These I see as progress I read some articles online and feet tickling was suggested as a means to check if the child receives signal from the feet to the brain And he responds to it very well Also snapping your fingers close to his ears  He responds My major concern is the neck No force pulling was done on him at birth since the birth was Natural and he was full term 
Thanks for your responds
