Yes, an EEG (Electroencephalogram) can be performed on a 6-month-old baby if there is a medical indication or concern, such as seizures, abnormal brain activity, or developmental delays. EEG is a non-invasive test that measures electrical activity in the brain by placing small electrodes on the scalp.
Pediatric neurologists or specialists typically perform EEGs on babies and young children with caution, and they may adapt the procedure to ensure the baby's comfort. If your baby is experiencing issues like seizures, developmental concerns, or other neurological symptoms, your pediatrician may recommend an EEG to assess brain function.
If you're considering this for your baby, it's best to consult with a pediatric neurologist or your child's doctor to determine if it's necessary based on your baby's symptoms or medical history.
