Q: Can Time Lords regenerate as soon as they're born, or do they have to reach a certain age first?

Almost all the Time Lord regenerations I've seen on-screen have been of adult Time Lords, who typically have already lived for several hundred years. Do we know whether or not a very young Gallifreyan could regenerate, either deliberately, by force, or naturally after some mortal wound? Or do the...
