Yes with proper care: Pediatric anesthesiologist are skilled in this. They will evaluate the baby with the pediatricians help to avoid any problems. Ask the anesthesiologist about your babies anesthesia options and the risks associated with each.

Pediatric surgery: Pediatric surgery is usually done at properly equipped facility and anesthesia is provided in most cases by fellowship trained pediatric anesthesiologist. Your surgeon would not operate if he does not feel that environment is safe for your child. Talk to the anesthesiologist and get your concerns addressed.

Always Concern: A parent should always be concerned for the health and safety of their child. There are risks associated with anesthesia, and it takes a anesthesiologist who is well trained and comfortable with pediatrics to do these cases. Discuss the risk and benefits with this anesthesiologist and then see if you are comfortable.
