Study published in The Lancet, Volume 345, Number 8945: Pages 291-292, 4 February 1995. doi:10.1016/S0140-6736(95)90278-3

The study notes, "Circumcised babies have short-term alterations in behaviour, sleep patterns, frequency of feeding, crying, fussiness, and heart rate." For the longer term, the study notes,

Male circumcision . . . causes intense pain and measurable changes in behaviour that last up to 1 day. We found that circumcision status was associated with increased infant pain response to routine vaccination at 4-6 months. Circumcised boys had significantly longer crying bouts and higher pain scores. That both outcome measures, pain index, and cry duration, were influenced by circumcision lends credibility to our observations.
