Yes: The wiring for this activity is present from birth on and intermittent male erections are possible at any age.

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Erections: Are common in infants and toddlers. Don't feel bad or get particularly concerned unless they are lasting more than 4 hours, or your child appears to be in pain/uncomfortable.
