Anesthesia under one year for intermittent bilateral exotropia

My child is scheduled for an hour long surgery for intermittent bilateral exotropia. We did patches for several months and saw an improvement but the opthalmologist is insisting it needs surgery, and it needs to be now. They will be ten months old at the time of surgery. I've found a few studies on repeated exposure in children under five and potential effects on central nervous system development. Im looking specifically for a single exposure under one year, and wondering if this surgery truly has to be now. Child is also a redhead, if that is relevant. Thank you.

At time of surgery they will be ten months, under 20 pounds.

Grandma and Baby

Maybe this isn't the appropriate sub? Grandma has wrist issues but of course still wants to hold baby. She doesn't want to wear baby, just have extra support. It has to be easy to put on and get baby into. She briefly mentioned those hip seats but there seem to be so many of those Instagram drop shopping scams. Any recs? Baby is 6 months. TIA
