I have a couple of questions regarding visiting my grandmother's grave for the first time:

1. Are there any prohibitions of taking a 5 month old infant to a cemetery?

2. Is there a prohibition to visiting the grave in the first year?

Thanks in advance!

1. you are not supposed to take children to a cemetery.
2. I remember being told you are not supposed to go to the cemetery for the first month, but I am not sure. You should ask a shaileh

So, how do you define "children"? Under bar/bat mitzvah? What if they ask to go (I did)? Is this halacha or minhag? Source?
