Thanks for the question.
Your concern for this situation is understandable.
Keep a watch on his activities, like feeding, passing urine and motions, movements of hands, legs and body, cry, sleeping patterns etc. If all these activities are normal, then wait and watch.
But it is still advisable to take consultation from a specialist.
