- You must be able to feed your baby right before the lumbar puncture procedure.
- Your baby is scheduled to have a lumbar puncture (a spinal tap).
- Your baby cannot have a known genetic or metabolic disorder, serious birth defects, or other conditions that might affect how they respond to music or the study.
