Circumcision

Hi mamas I have an appointment booked for circumcision tomorrow but baby has appointments all next week for bloods etc . Will it still be painful for him ? Should I cancel the circumcision appointment? I just don’t want him to be uncomfortable and in pain while also getting bloods etc

It will only be painful for a couple minutes !

Our son was only a little bit uncomfortable for a few days but was quite fussy the first 24 hours. They'll recommend Tylenol for pain for the first 24 hours which should help! Our son healed relatively quickly so it should be fine to keep the appointment 🙏

We are expecting a baby boy in February and considering circumcision. Can I ask at which month you did it and the reasons? We are not religious but I heard about health benefits.

@Simona as a former pediatric nurse I am for sure pro circumcision ! I can not tell you how many times there are boys that don’t get circumcised have to come in and have surgery later in life weather that been 3 , 10 or even as an adult due to infection or the skin getting stuck etc … and it’s much harder and more painful the older they are !

Thanks Aspen!!

I 100% agree with aspen I had cousins that did it at 26 years old and they had so many complications afterwards. I’m doing my boys at 6months only because he was unwell for a while

Oh my gosh I can’t even imagine at 26 how aweful 🫣

It's really only painful for a couple minutes and their first pee after. Id go ahead with it. Maybe dose a little Tylenol if they seem fussy

It's such an odd thing to do to baby boys 🤯, you guys just need to teach boys how to wash properly 😂
