There could be indeed a relation ,if not treated properly in the correct time it can cause an irreversible mental retardation and other development issues ,so see an endo as soon as possible !

how old is he ?
what dose he take ?
what are his lab numbers ?

You did not give the age of your baby, but just remember all children develope at a different rate.  Many children take longer to sit up, walk or talk, that is not always a sign of problems, BUT since you are concerned you probably need to see your pediatrician and he or she can send you to a specialist. I'm sure you are worried so I hope you will get the answers soon.
