A. anytime after 1 month better to show to specialist always as they get the correct diagnosis. try to avoid self and extra medication that will only complicate this and create more damage to the child

A. After 6 to 7 months any time you can get it done because the prior to that the head is not totally stable so once the child has total control that’s going to be by the time of six months after that whatever is more suitable for you because then you can make your child sit with your support also so that’s a very good time when you can get it done so any time after the time of 6 to 8 months when you feel it’s comfortable comfortable go for it
