When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Initially he was going to be circumcised at 1 day old while we were in the hospital, however at the time of the procedure they found he has a hypospadias. He has his reconstructive/circumcision procedure this coming Monday; he’s now 6 months.

My baby boy got circumcised at 6 weeks old x

They did it at the hospital on the second day of his life. My doctor and the pediatrician that came in said the earlier done the better so we had his done immediately. They let my husband be inside the room I’m not sure what kind of numbing medication they gave our son but my husband said he didn’t cry and it was a quick procedure!

He was 3 days old, and thats just because he was born on a friday right after the dr left for the weekend 😅

It was done when he was 1 day old and we were still in the hospital.

2 weeks old, wanted to wait 8 days because we did not give vitamin k

Our twins were in the NICU so we couldn’t do a bris on the 8th day like we’re supposed to in our religion. We waited until they were home for a month. It was clearly very painful even with the pain meds and quite traumatic for them so I’m not sure what a good age to do it is. I guess I’d say wait until they can make the decision themselves because it’s probably not worth all that pain to a baby.

I wasn't going to have him circumcised but ended up needing to due to some reoccurring infection he was having. Was circumcised at about 6 or 7 months

Waited approx 6 weeks, but mind you my baby was 6 weeks early so we wanted him to be full term at least

My first was 6-7 days old because they wouldn't do it while he was on a CPAP machine. My second was 2 days old, done before he was discharged after birth

My two brothers are both circumcised. The eldest got it done as a newborn & it went fine. My youngest brother had it done around 4/5 and it was hell

My baby was 4 weeks old, the doctor recommended we do it anytime before 8 weeks of age!

Two weeks old! The hospital tried to charge $500 cash only if we did it afterbirth so we went through our primary care physician

He was 2 days old. I had my son during Covid so they didn’t let us go in the room. But we watched through like an observation window, they numbed the area 2x to minimize discomfort. My baby sucked the pacifier and did not cry.

Literally just commenting to say I didn't/won't circumcise and we're not all judgey and mean lol xx ♥️

From my knowledge, the earlier the better but at the end of the day it's all the same regardless of when it's done, I'd personally wait until they're a little older than first few days (which is also so commonly done) but I really don't think the age matters x

The hospital I delivered my first 2 did not offer it. My first was done at his first peds appointment so a few days old, maybe a little over a week. My second needed to be seen by a specialist and he was 2-2.5 weeks old I believe. I’m due with baby #3 next Saturday and this hospital offers to do it there.

Day two in the hospital

They did it in the hospital on the 2nd day

We did it a day or two after he was born. It was a game day decision. 😜 When he came out, doctor asked us. We decided to do it. Had to wait til the next available operation date. Done!

No need to tell me what your thoughts are. Offering some tip from one mom to another (take it or leave it). If you opt to do it, it's a good idea to schedule it in advance. Some hospitals are booked out for it. We were lucky with ours.

Whatever you decide, kudos to you!

3 weeks after he was born. The hospitals don’t do it around here. So we had to find a clinic/doctor who specialized in it.

7 ish days old I believe

For both my sons it was the day after they were born. I actually had it set up before having them because I was induced with both pregnancies.

I did it a couple hours after he was born

My son had his 2 days after birth, the morning before we left the hospital. I always knew we would get him circumcised but unfortunately the doctor who did it left too much skin at the bottom and now he will have to have it corrected under anesthesia. I don’t regret getting it done but I regret the location and doctor.

he was 2 days old
we did it before we left the hospital & he got the ring

The hospital didn't offer it so I got it done around 3-4 weeks after baby was born since it took a while to get an appointment

I had it done before we left the hospital. I believe we waited two days there before having it done. It went well! They did leave a small piece of the foreskin on it though, but I’m sure it’ll be nothing to worry about.

In the hospital day after he was born

We did it before we left the hospital and it went really well

We got it done the day after he was born while still in the hospital

Day 8

The day after he was born while in the hospital still

The day after he was born.

My first we did the day after he was born in the hospital.
This baby I am not finding out the gender, but if he is a boy then we will circumcise at the pediatricians office at 8 days old.

He got it the day after he was born. I asked them about waiting and they told me it’s better to get it sooner than later.

I got it done at 2months as it is best as early as possible and he can start taking calpol.

I had it a couple days after he was born

Hospital, day 8 of nicu hours before discharge. It was also the only reason we elected to give him the vitamin k shot

we just got his done two days ago and he is 8 months old, had to wait until 6+ months to go under general anesthesia since it wasn’t done at birth due to possible complications if done then)

Day 3 at the hospital…they did it 2 hours before discharge, smh.

I had it done immediately.

We did our son just under 2months old. We had to go privately as they don’t do it in the hospital unless medically necessary.

While we were in hospital

Day after birth

Two days after birth in hospital but if I could go back I would choose to do it with a pediatric urologist because he had to have it redone due to the hospital Dr not doing it right the first time

The whole procedure took maybe 10 minutes. And he healed I want to say maybe two weeks or less. I can’t remember because I had it done when he was 8 months. Urologist said it’s best to do it before 1 and after 6months. Before 1 because they tend to discover their penises then and after 6months because it’s the safest for anesthesia after then.

At the hospital 24 hours after birth is what my dr recommended so that’s what we did

My son got his 3 days after he was born and it was done at the hospital before we were discharged. We were given the choice to either be present or wait in the room. It took about 20 mins and it wasn’t hard or difficult treating and caring for after. Legit it was just putting ointment or Vaseline on the area with each diaper change for at least 2 weeks

We got it done within the first two weeks only do to having to book the appointment. If I could have done it sooner, I would have

Got it done when he was 3 weeks old that’s what the surgeon recommended us worked best for us.
