[quote=Anonymous]Check regulations for individual airlines. Between that and passport requirements, getting this done before 2 weeks isn't likely. Are you really going to drag a few-days old baby (and postpartum mama!) to Snappy Snaps for a passport photo then to the US Embassy for hours to get your report of birth abroad and a passport? Then through an airport with all the fun that is airline travel? I was feeling great and resumed activity too quickly after my 2nd and was surprised at the toll it took (exhaustion, passed golf-ball size blood clots).

You cite the risk of infection from early travel as less than the infection risk of not circing. Is that true? I have no idea where you'd get that data to compare. This particular plan doesn't seem healthy for your baby or you.

FWIW, our American friends who had boys while we were in the UK all left their boys intact and decided they'd cross that bridge when they came to it (either if circ was medically necessary or son wanted one later).
