Bris Preparation

Having everything ready and on time will make the bris run much more smoothly.

Here is a list of things you will need for the bris:

1. 2 fluffy pillows
2. 6 disposable diapers (any brand)
3. 6 cloth diapers (preferably the large, not pre-folded type)
4. 2 chairs
5. There should be a table (such as a card table) for the mohel to place his instruments on
6. A small trash can
7. It is customary to light candles at the bris

Please have the baby on location 15 minutes before the bris

*The mohel brings the wine*

The baby's last feeding should end approximately 1 1/2 hours before the bris. He may be fed immediately after the bris.

Please dress the baby in a "onesie" for the bris. (You may dress him in anything else on top of that.)

Please contact your pediatrician if there is any change in the baby's health (e.g. fever, diarrhea, color, change in eating habits, etc….) and then call me immediately.

No, I did not forget to list the gauze pads and ointment. This mohel brings those items for you.
