The first thing that bothered me is that they can't gauge how much pain relief to give so it's usually done without pain relief.
Second, they bring the baby to the mother for comfort afterward. Sorry, but I don't want my arms associated with pain in my son, on such a primal level.
Third, most nurses thought it was ok at the time because the training films they were shown on the subject never had sound with them. They were never taught what the screams sound like, so they thought it was just part of the baby "vocalizing" because touch is still foreign, and they tried that story on me to convice me to have my sons circumcised.
Fourth and final, the incidence of infection, though not as high as it used to be, is still not worth the avoidable risk.
