I changed my mind and want to get my son circumcised. He is 13 months old now. Is it too late, AND..

What kind of trauma or reactions, or problems could occur at getting ti done so late after his first couple of days of birth? Thank you for your answers in advance!

It is not too late to get it done. I would definitely talk to your pediatrician to find out what doctor would be doing the procedure and find out what they have to say.

Since he is no longer a newborn they will most likely use anesthesia. He will be strapped down but not until he is asleep. I was a surgical tech before I was a stay at home mom and I have assisted on these procedures before. What happens is they take the baby to the OR and then they put a little oxygen mask over their face to get them to calm down and fall asleep then they lay him down and strap his arms to the arm boards like they would do to us adults. Then they do the procedure which normally takes 15 min and then he is done. I really don't know what happens after because I always stayed in the OR. But when they are done as newborns you keep a vasaline gauze on the penis until it doesn't look so raw. That will help it from sticking to the diaper. Your son will be in more pain then a newborn is in but you can at least give him some meds for it. Make sure you get all the facts about the procedure before you actually do it.
