When should the bris be performed?
Under normal circumstances, if the baby is healthy, the bris should be performed on the eighth day after birth. The day the baby is born, is considered day one. A day is defined as the time period between sundown and the following sundown. For example, Monday begins from sunset Sunday and continues until sunset Monday night. Therefore it would follow, that if a baby was born on Sunday night after sundown, the bris/brit would come out the following Monday. It would also hold true, that if a baby were born one minute before sunset on Sunday, the bris would fall out the following Sunday.
