Don’t Take Your Eyes Off Your Baby: What That Really Means for Circumcision
If you’ve attended a hospital tour or baby care class during your pregnancy, you may have heard this important piece of advice:
“Don’t take your eyes off your newborn.”
It may sound intense at first, but this recommendation is rooted in a powerful message: you are your baby’s best advocate. In those early hours and days after birth, staying close to your infant ensures not only emotional bonding — but also that you’re fully informed and involved in any decisions or procedures that take place.
Why This Advice Matters
In baby classes, parents are often encouraged to:
Stay with their newborn whenever possible
Ask about every procedure or medication being offered
Make sure they understand what’s happening and why
Unfortunately, hospital environments can sometimes move quickly, and procedures — like circumcision — may be done without much explanation or without the parent present.
At SafeCirc, You’re Always in the Loop and Will Never Be Out of Sight of Your Newborn
We’ve designed our clinic to honor parental involvement, transparency, and trust. Here’s how:
Informed Consent Without a Clock
Before any procedure begins, our provider spends as much time as you need walking through:
What to expect during the circumcision
The technique we use and why
Aftercare and healing
Any and all questions you have
We never rush this part. This is your child, and you deserve to feel fully informed, respected, and confident.
You Can See Your Baby the Whole Time
When it’s time for the procedure, your baby is brought just a few feet away into our dedicated procedure room — and that room has a viewing window, so you can see your child the entire time.
You’re welcome to:
Watch the procedure if you wish
Step out if you prefer not to view it
Stay close by for immediate comfort and feeding afterward
Whatever makes you feel most at ease — we support you.
A Better Way to Support New Parents
We know that the early days of parenting can be full of big decisions, and that trust is something that’s earned. At SafeCirc, we’re here to make sure:
You never feel rushed
You never feel left out
And you never lose sight — literally or emotionally — of your baby
Your instincts matter. Your questions matter. Your baby matters.
