Mostly where i have lived it is done just after the children are born and the pain and healing process is not such an issue
Oh, that's the second time today I've gotten such info. To think about it, I guess it might be easier while they are still a newborn baby. The older they get, the thicker their skin is. I wonder on your side, do they do it because of their religion or for hygiene purposes?
I think it is often recommended for hygiene reasons
