'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' refers to [[circumcision]] in the neonatal period, which, by definition, is the first 28 days (four weeks) of life.<ref>{{REFweb

Human milk is far superior to infant formula, so [[breastfeeding]] is highly recommended. [[Circumcised]] newborn infant boys are likely to be debilitated by the [[pain]] and [[trauma]] of circumcision and may be less able to breastfeed as compared with [[intact]] boys.
Fendereski et al. (2024) carried out a large-scale survey and reported that [[circumcised]] boys have about three times as many complaints in the first five years of life as compared with [[intact]] boys.<ref name=fendereski2024">{{REFjournal
