Yes, I wrote about this early in the thread, when a fellow poster wondered if perhaps this was a wound from circumcision.
If in fact they are Jewish, which the surname suggests but not necessarily, they would have had a ceremony called a “Bris” on the 8th day. It’s a Biblical covenant typically done at the home by a rabbi or specially trained man called a “mohel,”and it’s a big deal. There’s a party and usually a very nervous mother.
To answer your main question, yes they would have healed by now. If something went wrong somehow and the circumcision had not healed yet, that would be problematic. Hopefully if that were the case, it would’ve been noticed by the parents and pediatrician.
Completely agree…newborns have appointment after appointment. Starting at one week after birth, at least in my daughter’s case and then my grandchildren as well.
IMO and experience.
Sorry that I missed your earlier post when I recently asked about this.
Since twins may be more underweight or perhaps need extra care a little longer, is it possible a Bris could be performed later than the 8th day?
