are babies put to sleep for circumcision
For adults who choose to undergo circumcision, yes they will generally be given general anesthesia. For infants, no. Doctors don't put babies to sleep during circumcision because anesthesia is very risky to use on infants and can cause complications.That's why you always hear babies screaming bloody murder during the procedure.ome doctors don't use *any* pain management with infant circumcision. Most use a small amount, ssuch as sugar water (which, according to a recent study, doesn't do anything to reduce pain, only changes the baby's facial expression to make it seem like less pain is felt).
