I might be looking too much into this, but since DS was born, we've noticed a stiffness in his left arm and leg. Now he's 2 months, he's been batting at toys and generally wriggling and smiling when he sees us, but he rarely moves his left arm- only bats at toys with his right, and when wriggling, his left arm usually stays close to his tummy. I've noticed it's difficult to get that arm into clothes too as he seems to stiffen it. His left leg does kick but not so much as the right, and that's also really hard for me to bend into clothes. Not sure if it's related also but the left eyelid is often closed when he's drifting off to sleep where the right one stays open for longer. Are these things worth mentioning to the doctor at his check up next week? or will I seem like a neurotic mother?
He has got a risk factor in that he was a monozygotic twin but unfortunately we lost his twin during pregnancy.

Video your ds when it happens, so you can show gp or health visitor.??
Hopefully then they will take it seriously.

Definitely speak to your HV &/or GP if you are concerned.
