Original Writings on the Circumcision of BabiesMothers Who Observed CircumcisionAnother perspective on the infant’s response to circumcision pain is provided by Marilyn Milos, who witnessed a circumcision during her training in nursing school: "We students filed into the newborn nursery to find a baby strapped spread-eagle to a plastic board on a counter top across the room. He was struggling against his restraints—tugging, whimpering, and then crying helplessly. . . . I stroked his little head and spoke softly to him. He began to relax and was momentarily quiet. The silence was soon broken by a piercing scream—the baby’s reaction to having his foreskin pinched and crushed as the doctor attached the clamp to his penis. The shriek intensified when the doctor inserted an instrument between the foreskin and the glans, tearing the two structures apart. The baby started shaking his head back and forth—the only part of his body free to move—as the doctor used another clamp to crush the foreskin lengthwise, which he then cut. This made the opening of the foreskin large enough to insert a circumcision instrument, the device used to protect the glans from being severed during the surgery. The baby began to gasp and choke, breathless from his shrill continuous screams. . . . During the next stage of the surgery, the doctor crushed the foreskin against the circumcision instrument and then, finally, amputated it. The baby was limp, exhausted, spent".Infant Responses During and Following CircumcisionThe shock of circumcision results in hysterical screaming, crying, and can produce dangerous complications, including rupture of the heart, lungs,and stomach. Some babies are so severely traumatized by the experience that they fall into a semicomatose state. Some circumcisers still pretend that these babies are just falling asleep! No one falls asleep when his sex organs are being cut with a knife. Because he is tied down, a baby has no way to escape, no matter how much he thrashes. Going into a comalike state is one way for the baby to distance himself from his agonyMany circumcisions are performed without anesthesia. Most doctors and childbirth educators agree that the administering of the available painkillers--including the most effective, the ring block, which requires four injections--can itself be extremely painful for an infant. And even when anesthesia is administered, it does not completely eliminate the pain.The pain of circumcision can have serious complications. It is so severe that many babies stop breathing, vomit, and defecate in their agony.Cutting kids: why the pain of circumcision lasts far longer than the procedureWhich is Worse -- Adult or Infant Circumcision?The throbbing pain of the circumcision amputation wound is aggravated every time the baby urinates. Babies have no choice but to urinate into the raw circumcision wound. The hot acidic urine burns the raw flesh, inflicting even more genital pain.What Happens to a Baby During a Circumcision?Circumcision Myths
