Water clean, absolutely no harsh soaps. Don't put baby wipes on the area either. Just water wash with a soft cloth when changing him. Let dry, completely, then pack a gauze pad with a&d or some sort of jelly, and place it over his scar

They will advise a cream for him,get it asap from pharmacy & use it sparingly.. keep him well hydrated and look out for how many wet nappies he has, the more the better. He will need lots of cuddles & comfort first couple of days

They jus give u vasaline to put on it after every diaper change thats it thats wat they did w mine

My son was circumcised before we even left the hospital.

No, unless a medical reason, it’s mutilation.

@Madelynn same with me and gauz and change after each changing for 7-10 days

@Shannon dont come on here saying that tryna make someone feel bad for doing it and watching out for their kids hygiene and best interest. You do wats best for urs and everyone else will do the same. Lol

@Madelynn definitely not trying to make anyone feels bad but it’s disgusting and abuse.

@Madelynn practise what you preach babe

@Shannon oh girl be quiet. It is not abuse lmfao. Weirdo

@Shannon yes! Could not agree more

Lol some peoples comments are funny but its part of our religion so ur prob just racist which is worse for your child to be around that 🤣✌🏽

@Emily thank you

@Madelynn its okay hun thanks shes prob racist

@Maddie 😮‍💨

@Shannon that's not what was asked. Skip the post

We did salt water bath with ours for a few days after, no bubble bath of anything. Vaseline on the nappy, not directly on the skin xx

I’ve circumcised my boy, he was only 2 weeks old so I think it depends on their age and which practitioner you use but they’ll be able to support you in the after care. We were told to do daily baths for 2 weeks with just water no soap and for the first 24 hours a nappy change every hour and lashings of Vaseline. Our little one was absolutely fine within 10 mins of the procedure and fully healed in a few days. I have no regrets and it was easier than we thought it would be! Ps. Circumcision posts will always attract hate so don’t take vicious comments personally. Your baby, your choice. ❤️

Soaking baby in lukewarm water for 10-15 minutes a day. Dollops of Sudocrem on the area so it doesn’t stick to nappy. When I say dollops, we got through 3 big tubs of Sudocrem within a week & little man healed really well, so I highly recommend it! Can always add a barrier of Vaseline too on top & keep nappy loose 🫶🏻 Oh & @Shannon, you need to do your research before you state what is disgusting & what isn’t. Here’s some light reading for you: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3684945/ https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/articles/2012/10/greater-benefits-of-infant-circumcision#:~:text=We%20have%20substantial%20science%20to,of%20penile%20cancer%20over%20a 🫶🏻

@Shannon agreed. Unless medically needed, that’s why most nhs hospitals do not do it.
