It is believed that playing music helps calm babies and stabilize some of their vital functions, reports Live Science.
Circumcision
The prepuce or the foreskin, which covers the tip of the penis, is removed during a circumcision. The procedure does not exceed ten minutes and is done under the effect of a local anesthetic.

However, previous studies have not provided any strong evidence to support these claims.
In the new study, researchers from the University of Alberta in Canada reviewed nine previous studies published between 1989 and 2006, which included both premature and full-term babies.
However, they found very preliminary evidence that music has a beneficial effect during certain procedures, such as blood sampling and circumcision.
