Entry #3: Not in India
We have learned that many practices as well as medical supplies are not common in India. It is good to be aware of this so that you can make plans in advance.
-Boys are not circumcised in the Hindu religion. Some hospitals are very aware of the procedure, but have to put the baby under anesthesia. Others, including our facility, is not aware of this practice at all. When we asked our doctor, she looked at us as if she wasn't sure why anyone would ever do such a thing.
-Newborn diapers are very difficult to find. Those with free space for the healing belly button are not available.
-Nipple creams and medicines to reduce burning are also not used/found in India.

Do you need us to send you newborn diapers and Lanolin cream??!!
Because of this, we have friends who had their son circumcised in Thailand at the age of 2 years. Ouch! Poor little guy...
