Please schedule the baby’s feedings so that he will be ready for a feeding after the Bris. Instructions for the care of the baby after his Bris will be given to you by the mohel on the day of the Bris.
It is recommended to contact the mohel the day before the Bris. Please do not hesitate to call if you have any questions or concerns.
Day of the Bris (day #1)
Change the 3x3 gauze pad with A&D ointment at every diaper change.
DO NOT pull it off with force. If it does not come off readily, wait until the next diaper change.
The Mohel will return the day after the Bris to remove the other bandages.
DO NOT attempt to remove the bandages on your own unless otherwise instructed.
Day after the Bris (day #2)
After all bandages have been removed by the Mohel, continue to cover the affected area for the next 3 days.
1. For the first 24 hours use BACITRACIN ointment on a gauze pad after every diaper change.
If by chance you have difficulty removing the pad, use BABY OIL to facilitate removal.
If you still can’t loosen the pad wait until the next diaper change.
Days #3 and #4
2. After 24 hours switch back to A&D OINTMENT on the pad for another 48 hours.
3. After day #4 (provided the umbilical cord has fallen off and the area is dry ) give the baby a bath
with mild soap in warm water. This will promote the healing process.
Should some area still look affected, apply some A&D Ointment (without pad) to the area.
