circumcision care?

If your LO had gauze rapped around the top of the penis, when did you take it off? I can't remember what the nurse said and our paper doesn't say when too.

Re: circumcision care?

  • We put new gauze on with every diaper change with vasoline.

    This. We did that until everything looked healed.

    this is what we did also, but I wanted to recommend you check with the dr that performed it. There are a few different types of circumcisions, so there are different ways to care for them.

  • Once the original gauze fell off, just lots of vaseline with each diaper change for two weeks.

    This.  But ask how long they suggest you doing this because after awhile it gets all gunky and they want you to stop

  • They told us to just use Vaseline after the gauze fell off. We used it at every diaper change for about 10 days.
