Pre-Circumcision: |
|
| |
|
|
| |
- Prior
to the circumcision, please check with your pediatrician as to
the health of your baby; i.e. jaundice, fever, feeding difficulties.
- DO NOT
feed your baby for three (3) hours prior to the circumcision.
Feeding the baby may lead him to vomit during the procedure.
- You may
choose to put EMLA (anesthetic cream) on his foreskin one hour prior
to the circumcision.
- Speak
to your pediatrician prior to the circumcision and inquire as to the
amount of either Tylenol or Motrin your baby may need afterward, if
necessary.
- Bring
with you the following: several newborn diapers (disposable),
1 tube of Bacitracin and a bottle (if needed) to feed him immediately
afterwards.

Post-Circumcision: |
|
| |
|
|
| |
- Please
keep 2 diapers on him for the first 24 hours; this functions as
a pressure dressing. Each time you need to change and clean him, replace
the diapers with 2 more.
- Keep Bacitracin
all around his penis for 7 days following the circumcision;
this is an antibiotic and will keep the diaper from sticking to his
penis.
- You may
bathe him with warm water with/without unscented Dove,
as soon as the umbilical cord has fallen off. You may clean the edge
of the "cut" with a clean wipe (without alcohol).
- A white
film may develop on the cut edge of the penis. This is normal. If redness
extending down to his belly is seen, profuse bleeding or fever develop,
please call Dr. Bauman immediately.
- Please
let Dr. Bauman see the baby within a week after the circumcision.
