How was your son’s circumcision?

Question

How did your son’s circumcision go? How was the recovery? My son is getting circumcised today and I’m so worried because he’s a bit older than the typical age. Being a first time boy mom, I don’t know what to expect and I’m so scared something really bad is going to happen.

Answer

How old is your son? We had it done when he was 2 days old and my husband stayed with him. My husband said he didn’t cry at all and he just looked around the room the whole time while sucking on his pacifier. He was slightly more cranky for about a half a day, but it really didn’t seem to affect him. We bought a few tubes of Vaseline to use on it until it was completely healed, along with some gauze squares.

Answer

My boy had it done at 4 days old. He was a bit whiny for less than a day and that was it.

Answer

Our son had it done as a newborn but he didn’t seem bothered by it. I was told he cried only briefly. I think I was more of a wreck by the whole thing than he was. I recommend getting the squeezable Vaseline so you can “soft serve ice cream” it onto his little peep. The care is very easy. You just use Vaseline after every diaper change. If poo gets on it, spritz it clean with a spray bottle of warm soapy water then rinse with clean water. Or what I did was I wrung out a washcloth over it if it got poopy. My sons was healed in 7 days. Good luck!! Also it wouldn’t hurt to give your son some Tylenol beforehand?
