Please have the following items available when Cantor Sherman arrives:
- Two (2), 1 ounce tubes of Bacitracin OR Neosporin OR Polysporin (any kind) OR A&D OR Vaseline (1-4 oz. tube). Please buy ointment and not cream. Tubes are easier to use than jars.
- One box (25 per box) of 3" x 3" sterile gauze pads. Organic cotton gauze pads may be used if they are available.
- Sugar water: 2 teaspoons of sugar in 2 ounces of water. Only a small amount is needed. Sweet wine or grape juice may also be used before and after the Holistic Circumcision to help reduce discomfort further. The baby sucks on a gauze pad dipped in sugar water, low alcohol wine or organic grape juice before and after the Holistic Circumcision to reduce discomfort.
- Try to arrange the feeding schedule so that the previous feeding finishes about one hour prior to the circumcision. (This is a guideline, not a rule.) The baby may be fed immediately following the circumcision.
Also, you may consult a homeopath to determine which homeopathic remedies may be used for your child. Since each individual is unique, the remedies and doses are tailored to your child based on the advice and recommendation of your homeopath. For example, Arnica may be used before and after the circumcision to reduce overall discomfort. For bleeding, Phosphorous or Hamamelis may be administered. For wound care, a gauze pad soaked in olive oil and once healing has begun, Calendula ointment may be applied directly to the wound.
CONSULT YOUR HOMEOPATH FIRST BEFORE USING ANY HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES.
