Elhaik lists stressors from non-therapeutic neonatal circumcision as:
* intense [[pain]]
* [[bleeding]]

Elhaik found Anglophone countries practice significantly more non-therapeutic neonatal [[circumcision ]] than non-Anglophone countries and have a significantly higher SIDS rate than non-Anglophone countries.<ref name="elhaik2019" />
Elhaik found great variation in the SIDS mortality rate. Of the 15 countries studied, The Netherlands, where the Dutch do not practice infant circumcision, was the lowest at 0.06 per 1000 births, while the United States where non-therapeutic infant circumcision is commonplace had the highest at 0.82 per 1000 births.<ref name="elhaik2019" />
