The Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale is performed within 24 to 36 hours after birth. This assessment helps to identify the newborn's neurological and behavioral responses to various stimuli and provides valuable information for parents and healthcare providers to determine the baby's overall health and well-being. It is not recommended to wait until the end of the sixth month of age to perform this assessment as it is important to detect any potential developmental concerns early on.
