Neurologist Questions Ankle Injuries and Disorders

My 6 weeks old baby has ankle clonus. Should I take him to a neurologist?

About last week I noticed that my 6 weeks old baby has ankle clonus. I have seen his feet twitch and tap when he raises his knees or is applying pressure while passing motions. Should I take him to a neurologist or is it too early?

Clonus is fairly common in young babies. Consider taking him to a neurologist if he shows other symptoms.
No, it's not too early. You should take the baby to a neurologist.
You could check with his pediatrician to examine him, make sure everything is fine.
Of course you should, it's never too early.
