Q: is it normal for my 5 day old newborn circumcision to bleed a little bit around the edges of the penis ?

: I don't recall any of thousands done with the clamp method that blead later. The clamp crushes blood vessels and normal infants heal without this problem. The Plastibell method sometimes has oozing when the ring separates. I would contact your pedi for guidance.
