Before You Arrive:

Plan Your Time: Expect to be at the clinic for approximately 60-90 minutes. This allows enough time for preparation, the procedure, and post-care instructions.

What to Bring: Make sure to bring the following items to your appointment:

• A clean diaper and wipes
• A receiving blanket for swaddling
• Any comfort items your baby may need (e.g., a pacifier)
• Any extra clothing for your baby
• Your baby’s necessary medical records

Feeding Your Baby: It is recommended to feed your son about an hour before the appointment. A well-fed baby is more likely to be calm and comfortable during the procedure.

Day of the Procedure:

Dress Comfortably: Dress your baby in loose-fitting clothes that are easy to remove and put back on. This will make it easier to handle your baby before and after the circumcision.

Arrive Early: Arriving a little early can help you and your baby settle in and feel more relaxed before the procedure begins.

Stay Calm: Your baby can pick up on your emotions, so staying calm and composed will help keep him calm as well.

At the Clinic:

Check-In: Upon arrival, check in at the front desk and provide any necessary information.

Meet the Doctor: You will have a chance to speak with the doctor before the procedure. Use this time to ask any last-minute questions or express any concerns you might have.

Comfort Your Baby: Keep your baby swaddled and comfort him with gentle rocking or soothing sounds while you wait.

After the Procedure:

Post-Procedure Care Instructions: Listen carefully to the post-care instructions provided by the clinic staff. They will give you detailed information on how to care for your baby’s circumcision site and what to expect during the healing process.

Follow-Up Appointment: Make note of any follow-up appointments or additional instructions provided by the doctor.

By following these steps, you can help ensure that your baby’s circumcision goes smoothly and that you feel prepared for the procedure and the care that follows.
