Hello , a little difference is fine .but if you feel there is much you may show your paediatrician or paediatric physiotherapist who can take the girth measurement and compare both the legs.
Just monitor how he uses his left leg and hand is it equivalent to the right side.does he weight bear on left leg when he stands and walk .
It is also important to know his birth history which you can share with the doctor to rule out certain conditions.
