** Prilidan and Emla are numbing creams that tend to reduce the pain experienced by the baby. Please apply the cream to the penis only, from the tip to the base (not just the foreskin) one hour before the brit is meant to start. In order that the cream will not re-absorb into the diaper, place a piece of saran wrap on top of the penis.
*** If your baby lack the G6PD enzyme, you must consult with the attending physcian to make sure it's safe to use these creams.
**** There are times that children can have an allergic reaction to these types of creams and that could push off the bris to the ninth day. To make sure that your child doesn't have a reaction to the cream, please apply a small amount to his arm the day before the brit milah and monitor the reaction. Provided there is none, follow the previous instructions for application on the day of the event.
