How to Care for Newborn's Circumcision at Home?

I used a Q tip to put the cream on , the baby was fine and it didn't hurt .

When my son was circumcised, I put the Vaseline cream stuff of a piece of gaze and laid it on his little wiener, it healed fast and didn't hurt him since I was never actually touching it.

@hippiebaby89,

I would use vasoline!

A whole lot of Vaseline like douse the gauze on it or the gauze will stick to the skin and cause a whole lot of pain to you and him when you go to remove it!

OB said to use vasoline, but it's hard to get on. Pediatrician said use a&d, That works...but I want to clean it. I wasn't told to use gauze by either. I'm so confused. I don't want him to start bleeding again if I clean it with a wipe

@mrsmord, @heykaidensmom @vondab490 @tracynangel

They told me to do what I did in the hospital so his diaper doesn't stick to it and make it bleed. @hippiebaby89

You put the Vaseline onto the gauze and then fold it in half and let the excess go through. Then you wrap it around the penis

@hippiebaby89, I had it done by a rabbi - their basically experts in this stuff they do it all the time ... He told us to put a cream ( I'll take a pic of it ) on a Q tip because I was afraid to hurt my son , and to put a good amount on the penis OR you can also put the cream on the gauze and place it gently on the penis and wrap it around . If they bleed a little it's okay - when you take off the old gauze .

@hippiebaby89, I can't find the cream but I guess use the cream the doctor recommends

ok. I mean I used a squirt bottle to clean it and put a lot of ointment on it. I'll have to get gauze I don't think I have any. thank you ladies
