The most appropriate intervention that is part of the initial care of a circumcised neonate would be; petroleum gauze being applied to the site for the first 24 hours. This would prevent the skin edges from sticking to the diaper. Neonates are initially kept in the prone position. To inspect the site diapers should be changed more frequently.
