I also have been recommending, that if circumsicion must be done (per
parents choice) to follow the age-old jewish traditions and wait a week.

However, some parents have informed me that unless it is done in the
hospital the insurance will not cover and this would be a hardship for
them.  So - here goes - check with your insurance company and ask THEM
what's "right" for your baby.

(Read a little frustration there????)
