Generally, the ability to fly is congenital, but after birth the wings are too small to fly. Young microbats become independent at the age of 6-8 months, megabats not until they are four months old.
Kitti's Hog-nosed Bat, aslo called The Bumblebee Bat is the world's smallest species of bat at 30-40 mm in length and weighing approximately 2 grams and is one of the twelve most endangered species on the planet.
Kitti's Hog-nosed Bat is a microbat thus it becomes independent and start to fly at 6-8 months.â¥

If I'm not mistaking, they have to fly from birth. They don't have a heart, and the blood has to circulate by moving, or they have to hang upside down, while not moving to keep blood going to the brain. Otherwise they pass out, and die.
