1
near as possible to the elbows and knees.

Figure 2 Immobilizing the infant
To position for circumcision:
The infant's perineum should rest against the
raised platform between his legs (Figure 3). This
elevates the genitalia for the procedure.
For smaller infants, place a folded towel under the
hips for additional elevation.
