== Antiquity ==
The fact that circumcision on infants regularly led to deaths is shown by the fact that the Talmud of Babylon, Yebamoth 64b,<ref>http://www.come-and-hear.com/yebamoth/yebamoth_64.html</ref> provides for when the first two (or three) sons have died after circumcision, subsequent sons no longer need to be circumcised.
