What Causes Delayed Development In An Over Weight Baby?
my baby was born in October 27 and he still doesn t pull to a sitting position but will sit with assistance. Also when I feed him he doesn t take the food and place in his mouth. He also rolled twice from his back to front but not anymore. He is a big baby. Should we worry?

Hello,
In my opinion, you should definitely consult a pediatrician and get done detailed clinical evaluation of his growth and development.
Obese babies with delayed milestones often show mental retardation. So better to consult a pediatrician and if needed start behavioral therapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
