Professional Circumcision Services for Newborns and Infants

Atlanta Baby Circumcision provides circumcision services primarily for newborns and infants.

Rabbi Elchanan Schulgasser has more than 15 years of experience and has performed thousands of procedures. His experience with newborns and infants allows families to receive care from a provider who is familiar with the needs of babies and the concerns parents commonly have before circumcision.

Parents can contact the office to discuss their baby’s age and circumstances and determine the appropriate timing for the procedure.

Circumcision services are available for families with different backgrounds, religions, and beliefs. Families seeking a traditional Jewish bris and families seeking circumcision without a religious ceremony can discuss their needs before scheduling.

When Should Parents Schedule Circumcision?

Newborn circumcision is generally performed early in life when the baby is healthy and there is no medical reason to delay the procedure.

Families planning a traditional Jewish circumcision may schedule the procedure on Day 8 after birth when appropriate.

Because every baby and situation can be different, parents should contact Atlanta Baby Circumcision as early as possible to discuss the baby’s age, health circumstances, preferred date, and available appointment options.

If your baby is older than the typical newborn period, contact us to discuss whether circumcision services are available and what options may be appropriate.

What Happens Before, During, and After the Circumcision?

Knowing what to expect can help parents feel more prepared

01

Before the Procedure

Before the circumcision, parents can discuss the procedure, technique, pain management, timing, and aftercare. The baby’s circumstances are considered before proceeding, and parents have an opportunity to ask questions.

02

During the Procedure

Rabbi Schulgasser uses the Mogen technique for newborn circumcision. The circumcision itself is very brief and takes approximately two minutes. Much of the appointment involves preparation, answering questions, making sure the baby is positioned appropriately, and providing aftercare guidance. The baby is held securely throughout the procedure to help prevent unnecessary movement.

03

Immediately After the Procedure

After the circumcision, parents receive information about caring for the area and what they can expect during healing. Parents can also ask questions about aftercare and contact Atlanta Baby Circumcision if questions arise after the appointment.

The Mogen Technique

Atlanta Baby Circumcision uses the Mogen technique for newborn circumcision.

The technique allows the circumcision procedure itself to be performed very quickly. Parents can discuss why the Mogen technique is used, how the procedure works, and what to expect during their appointment.

The procedure is approximately two minutes, although the complete appointment takes longer because preparation, questions, pain management, and aftercare are also important parts of the visit.

What Should Parents Expect During Healing?

After circumcision, parents may notice changes as the area heals. Some redness, swelling, and changes in appearance can be part of normal healing. Parents receive aftercare instructions so they know how to care for the circumcision and what changes they may see during the healing period.

The circumcision generally heals over the course of several days, with complete healing commonly occurring within about a week. Parents should follow the aftercare instructions provided after the procedure and contact the provider if they have questions or concerns about their baby’s healing.

Pain Management for
Newborn Circumcision

Parents commonly ask whether circumcision is painful and what can be done to keep their baby comfortable. Newborns can feel pain during circumcision, which is why pain management and comfort measures are an important part of the process.

Rabbi Schulgasser discusses available pain-relief options with parents before the procedure. Depending on the circumstances, pain management may include local anesthetic and comfort measures such as feeding, swaddling, and soothing. Parents are encouraged to ask questions about pain management before scheduling so they understand what to expect.

Circumcision Aftercare and Ongoing Support

Aftercare is an important part of the circumcision process.

Parents receive instructions on caring for the circumcision, including appropriate diaper care and the use of petroleum jelly as recommended. Parents should avoid unnecessary rubbing or irritation of the area while it heals.

If parents have questions after the circumcision, Atlanta Baby Circumcision remains available to help answer aftercare questions and provide guidance about what they are seeing during the healing process. If there is significant bleeding, fever, worsening swelling, spreading redness, pus, unusual odor, difficulty urinating, or the baby appears seriously unwell, parents should seek appropriate medical attention.
