BRIT INSTRUCTIONS
- 4 boxes of sterile, individually wrapped, absorbent
3x3 Gauze Pads (please do not substitute different sizes).
(Most for post care).

(not Neosporin Plus or Neosporin cream).

in addition to Pampers or Huggies.

at room temperature, (Unchilled) and
Kiddush cup or wine goblet.

- One table (dining room table, or sturdy card table, changing table, etc.) and a tablecloth.
- Please request a prescription for a small tube of
EMLA cream from your physician
to be used as a topical anesthetic. If your physician
has any questions about the EMLA cream,
please refer your physician to the April 24,
1997, issue of "The New England Journal
of Medicine" which highly recommends EMLA
cream for neo natal circumcision. 1
to 10 hours prior to the Brit please apply
the EMLA cream to the foreskin
and cover the entire penile area with one of the following:
A finger guard or the "pinky finger" cut from a latex
or vinyl glove or a piece of saran wrap. If you are
unable to obtain the EMLA cream
you may utilize a product called "ELA-Max
4% or 5%" in the same way as you would apply the EMLA
cream. You don't need a prescription and
may purchase the 'ELA-Max 4% or 5%'
over the counter (first call the pharmacy and make sure
they have it in stock).
- 1 to 10 hours prior to the Brit
please apply the EMLA cream
to the foreskin and cover the entire penile area with
one of the following: A finger guard or the "pinky finger"
cut from a latex or vinyl glove or a piece of saran
wrap.
-
Please stop feeding your baby 2 hours prior to the Brit. Please prepare a bottle of sugar water for the Brit (he will be fed during and immediately after the Brit).
- Please advise me should your son develop any degree of jaundice, cold or infection.
