Circumcision

Hi my son is going for circumcision next week. I'm feeling nervous, especially because we can't accompany him. Any tips for ftm? appreciate insights on the duration of recovery. Thanks in advance

My boy just went for his last Friday! Yes we weren't allowed in, it was heart breaking to hear him scream and cry in the room. I was still calm, but my mil was ready to barge into the room 😂 so first advice is to not bring any grandparents along 😂😂 On the day he had his circumcision, every pee hurt :( the cries were so painful, you can tell the difference between the cries for milk and these cries. It's sudden and he will cry until face red. Will take a while to soothe. He was also very cranky and fussy. Prepare to give him more cuddles and attention on that day. We also gave him dhamol doc prescribed for him and that seemed to help with the pain a bit. Gave him during the first two days only. The next day he was so much better. Peeing didn't hurt anymore! The ring was still there. Bathe as per normal. We drowned his part in warm water a bit longer so that it helps soothe him a bit. Second day he's still fussy, but lesser. Maybe manja. Hahaha Third day onwards like nothing. All back to normal! It's his sixth day today, ring still on his penis but it's showing slight dislodgment. Hopefully it'll be out by tmr. Don't forget to always change his diaper often esp when there's poop cos don't want to risk infection. We prepared spray to spray his lil wee wee during diaper change to remove the urine from inside the ring. Use the ointment as prescribed by the doc. All the best baby and momma!!

Aww! I was so affected by his cries too I couldn't sleep well at night 😢 yes yes continue to bathe as per normal. During bath time I let him sit in the water water for a while. I trickle water on his wee to test his pain level first. The nurses recommended me to wash with water every diaper change so that the urine gets cleaned off the ring.
