no need to give general anesthesia....local anesthesia is enough and safe for baby...General Anesthesia has so many complications......

General anesthesia is safe after 6 months of life. But circumcision can be performed under local anesthesia so no need of general anesthesia. you can consult some other pediatric surgeon willing to do procedure under local anesthesia.
