Pediatrician, Neonatology 's  Response
Did he loose sensation at that time? he may have an internal haemorrhage. Watch for any vomiting, convulsion, fits for next 72 hours, If any of this happens go for a CT scan head.
If you see any change from normal go to pediatric neurologist immediately and let him get examined thoroughly
