A member asked:
My preemie has been through enough for the last month. why should i get him circumcised in the hospital?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If you plan or had planned on circumcision, have it done in the hospital, rather than separate visit to the Dr..Don't worry, you will suffer more from the circumcision than he, who will feel only momentary pain. Many Drs refuse to do office circumcisions and condemn the baby to wait 6 months and then have it done under general anesthesia.Have them use LMX anesthetic cream & sweetease to suck on.
