Posted by Feltman Brothers on 20th Sep 2023
The Brit Millah is a special ceremony in Judaism that marks the circumcision of a newborn baby boy. It is a time for celebration and joy, and parents often choose to dress their baby in a special outfit for the occasion.
There is no one right answer to the question of what to dress your baby in for their Bris Milah, but here are some tips to make the day as easy as possible while the little print looks his very best.
Your priority as you shop for an outfit should be easy access for the mohel who will performing the Bris.
There are many beautiful rompers out there that are unfortunately not designed well for a bris. You'll want an outfit that opens easily at the bottom but remains closed at the top.
Most parents also opt for a white-colored garment but there is no set law about what color to dress your baby in.

Here are a few additional tips for choosing a Bris Milah outfit:
- Consider the weather: The Brit Millah ceremony is typically held indoors, but it is important to consider the weather when choosing an outfit. If the ceremony is being held in the summer, you may want to choose a lighter outfit. If it is being held in the winter, you may want to choose a warmer outfit.
- Choose a comfortable outfit: It is important to choose an outfit that your baby will be comfortable in. The ceremony can last for an hour or more, so it is important to choose an outfit that will not restrict their movement or cause them any discomfort.
- Choose an outfit that is easy to change: The Brit Millah ceremony involves some diaper changes, so it is important to choose an outfit that is easy to get on and off.
- Accessorize: You can add a special touch to your baby's Brit Millah outfit with some accessories, such as a bonnet, bow tie, socks, hat or blanket.
- Pack a back-up outfit: Remember, you're dealing with a baby. His diaper can leak and the wine can spill. It's smart to pack a simpler outfit so you can have peace-of-mind knowing that your baby will look beautiful no matter what happens.
No matter what you choose, make sure that the outfit is something that you and your baby love. The Brit Millah is a special occasion, and you want to cherish the memories for years to come.
