Circumcision of the newborn refers to circumcision in the neonatal period, which, by definition, is the first 28 days (four weeks) of life.[1]
Circumcision of the newborn has been heavily promoted by the circumcision industry in the United States of America for more than a century. Circumcision of the newborn does not treat or protect disease as no disease is present. There is no medical indication for circumcision, so Circumcision of the newborn is seldom practiced out side of the United States because newborn boys are born with healthy, protective foreskin,[2]
It is dangerous for newborn boys to receive general anesthesia, so when a newborn boy is circumcised, he will experience severe pain and trauma, and he will be put at risk of the known risks of circumcision surgery, including bleeding, infection, and surgical accident. Iacob et al. (2021) has identified 47 classes of possible complications.[3]
Human milk is far superior to infant formula, so breastfeeding is highly recommended. Circumcised infant boys are likely to be debilitated by the pain and trauma of circumcision and may be unable to breastfeeed.
