Circumcision for my 4-month old

Hi Natasha! Great that you're planning ahead for this. For a 4-month old, the good news is that circumcision can be done safely under local anaesthesia using a plastibell device for babies below 4 months old, but at 4 months your paed will advise on the best timing and approach for your baby specifically. On the CDA question, yes it is claimable! The costs are fully payable via CDA and also claimable from Medisave up to $1,250 for a day surgery procedure. For clinics, many mummies go through KKH or NUH for infant circumcision as they have dedicated paediatric surgical teams. Private options like Paediatric Surgery and Urology International are also popular and CDA-claimable. Always best to get a referral from your paed first so they can assess your baby and recommend the right timing and method. Hope it goes smoothly for your little one!

Hey! Good news, circumcision is definitely claimable via CDA and Medisave (up to $1,250 for day surgery), so you're covered there. From what I've heard around, Crescent Clinic at Eunos is popular and pretty affordable (around $100 cash), though I'd check with them directly on current pricing and availability for your son's age. Some mums also go to the larger hospitals like KKH or Mount Elizabeth if they prefer that setup, but private specialists tend to be pricier. At 4 months, your baby is still quite young, so it's worth having a chat with your GP or the clinic about timing and aftercare, they'll advise what works best for him and walk you through the recovery.
