Baby Care After Brit Milah

• Wash your hands well, before changing baby's diaper.  Carefully  open a gauze pad envelope and remove the gauze pad.   Holding the gauze at the top, rip the gauze pad in two.  Place one half back into the envelope
  

• Squeeze some Bacitracin onto the gauze pad and smear it around, not with your finger, but rather, by folding over the pad
  

• Place the gauze pad over the bris area, and slightly squeeze the edges of the gauze pad, thereby creating an envelope like covering over the bris
  

• Continue this for twenty-four hours, or until otherwise advised
  

• A spot or two of blood is to be expected
  

• If anything bothers you for any reason, do not hesitate to call, even at three in the morning!
