Near-infrared, spectroscopic studies of central ionizing sources of very young H ii regions is presented in conjunction with a recently available, sophisticated atmospheric code to constrain the physical conditions and environment of very massive stars at very early stages of evolution. Combining high quality near-infrared spectroscopy of very young massive stars with model atmosphere calculations should allow for the most accurate quantitative determination of Teff, rotation, L, and log g, and to search for binaries and possible disk or in-fall signatures in forming or recently formed massive stars. These characteristics make up a vital boundary condition constraining theories on massive star formation.
