Best age is between 6 to 9months,, so it’s safe to perform now, it should always be done by Pediatric surgeon with full sterile techniques in a hospital, baby’s are sent home on the same day. They are smiling and playing, no pain, no fear of infection,, after this minor surgery.
Next Steps
If not done before 9 months then postpone till 5 years
Health Tips
If you can’t reach/ afford Pediatric surgeon in a hospital then go with traditional methods taking full aseptic precautions as there is a fear of acquiring HIV and Hepatitis B & C .
