'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' refers to [[circumcision]] in the neonatal period, which, by definition, is the first 28 days (four weeks) of life.<ref>{{REFweb |url=https://www.thefreedictionary.com/neonatal+period |title=neonatal period |last= |first= |init= |author-link= |publisher=The Free Dictionary by Farlex |date= |accessdate=2025-04-17}}</ref>
'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' 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. '''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' is seldom practiced out side of the United States as newborn boys are born with healthy foreskins, so there is no medical indication for [[circumcision]].
