Circumcision

Not looking for advice or starting a debate on circumcision, just have a question for those of you who have had your son circumcised. It’s been 4 days since my son was circumcised, he had surgical gauze on for the first 2 days due to a small tear he had and the gauze was just removed yesterday. Today he has some yellow discharge around the head of his penis, and a little discharge in his diaper when changing. We’ve been applying Vaseline during each diaper change. It doesn’t seem to hurt or bother him anymore. Has anyone else experienced this, is it normal?

Can be normal, try cleaning the area with warm salt water, but I’d still take him in for a look at it just incase x

It’s normal! I would squeeze the water out of a baby wipe and let it fall on to it

@Makela🌺 I’ll try it with some water during his bath tonight , its like all the way around the head and kinda like a jelly consistency if that makes sense.

Perfectly normal

Yes completely normal! I second Makela thats what I did as well , wait a few seconds then wipe and apply ointment. Its just a little buildup from the ointment and urine in the diaper. Dont panic momma it’s normal

Yes it can be normal. Put a warm water in a bowl and add 2-3 teaspoons of salt, then sit him in it for 10mins. My son got circumcised last week and that was what we were asked to do.

i was thinking the same but it’s completely normal and goes aways the more it starts heal.. because it was so new to me and couldn’t remember if his doctor told me it was happen i focused more on putting ointment on (putting extra on the area) to really ease my mind

Completely normal! We just wiped the area each change and waited for his ring to fall off

Yes. Normal. Just try your best to clean it with a gentle cloth and soap and apply A LOT of ointment. Like A LOT!! The hospital gave us the little packs of A&D ointment (I think that’s the name) and the doctor said to use about half of that every time we change his diaper. Aquafor works too apparently but make sure u put a lot!! I used to put him in the bath and either have a little water drip on him with a baby bath sprayer or submerge his penis in water to clean it up like that. Whatever works best for u!’
