Tretment before 1 yr  is not common . I have treated with half bottle200 mg. There are hardly any side effects noticed. Either you wait till baby is 1yr or treat it.  It is your choice . You are almost sure of worms.  Itching at anus can be  seen and even pin worms noticed under torch light. You can opt for enema with glucose 5%. Worms come out. Ofcourse I have used with higher concentration in a bigger child.
