Evaluation of milestones from birth till now is required by a pediatrician.
Many times only single milestone is delayed and remaining are normal. This might become normal with age.
A pediatrician visit will tell you as what steps can be taken. Is wait and watch the next step or any therapy is needed will only be possible after examination by a child specialist
