Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Delayed mile stones suggest that he may be suffering from cerebral palsy.
Without seeing the child it is difficult to diagnose chromosomal disorder.
If chromosomal disorder is suspected kayotyping has to be done.
Feeding is important to improve the weight.
Better consult pediatrician to arrive at a diagnosis and proper treatment.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
