Baby’s Overall Health

Please discuss your baby’s readiness for Brit Milah with his family physician or pediatrician. I will rely on their experience and physical exam to advise you of any potential issues.

I will also go through a brief screening questionnaire when we speak on the phone prior to the Bris.

The Day Of

Please have your son dressed in an outfit that allows easy access, such as a sleeper or onesie.

Try to avoid feeding him for approximately one hour before, so that he is able to soothe easily during and after the procedure.

Placing EMLA cream or giving Tylenol prior to the Bris are options available for pain control, and I am happy to provide guidance to interested parents.
