She nodded vigorously when I mimed the actions of a circumcision ( really , pretty easy when there 's naked baby boy in front of you ) . I did his circ today ; he cried less than most and was easily soothed by my holding him afterward ... .a cuddle I usually need as much as they do after such an experience . He is a beautiful baby : small but not scrawny , with a perfectly round head , soft alert eyes and a little round nose .

Question: Why would holding a baby after you circumsised it help you ?
Answer: It would lessen your guilt for the pain you caused .It would perform a religious function .None of the above choices .It would make you feel love for the parents .
