How long does a circumcision take on a baby?

It takes seconds if done by a specialist to a few minutes if done by most doctors. If you are going to circumcise, I would suggest you try to find a mohel (usually pronounced "moil")--a ritual Jewish circumciser--who will do non-Jewish circumcisions because he is an expert and is less likely to make a mistake in the surgery (which can, in extreme cases, result in an error so severe that the parents have no choice but to raise the child as a girl).

only a few seconds it's a fast snip. However healing takes a while. In the healing time you will have to put a bit of healing anti botic oitment like neosporin on the tip to prevent his penis from sticking to the diaper where he's healing. He might get a lil scab from the cut. Personally i feel it's not nessary to do a circumcision but, it's your choice i won't start the pro and con of not doing or doing it debate. Do look online at all the info to make a choice there are many sites that can give you informed info on the topic.

It takes only about 5 to 10 minutes. The healing takes a few days.

Pretty quick. Ask for numbing medicine for the baby and sucrose on a pacifier. The sugar helps calm the baby. My husband was with both of our sons for theirs and these were the things they did to help lessen the pain.

Just a few minutes, and then about 2 weeks to heal all the way.

It takes just a few minutes to perform, and about a week or so (if cared for properly) to heal fully.
