Hello,
From the clinical features you have mentioned, it looks like your son had some dysmorphic features which are not normal. Having no concentration till 3 months of age is also not normal. I would suggest you go for genetic counselling before planning subsequent pregnancy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Nirubhan Bharathy, Pediatrician
