(Mishnah): We may wash a baby before and after Milah. We sprinkle on him by hand, but not from a Kli;

R. Elazar ben Azaryah says, one may wash a baby on the third day from Milah - "va'Yhi va'Yom ha'Shelishi bi'Hyosam Ko'avim.'' (One is very weak on the third day.)

We are not Mechalel Shabbos for [Bris Milah of] a Safek (viable baby, Safek Nefel) or Androginus (one who has male and female genitals);

R. Yehudah permits for an Androginus.

(Gemara): Our text of the Mishnah says "one may bathe a baby.'' In Rebbi's academy they taught "one may bathe [only] the Milah'' (but not the entire baby).

(R. Avahu citing R. Yochanan): The Halachah follows the opinion that one may bathe the baby.

(R. Yosi): You are forced to say that one may bathe the baby, for Shmuel taught a Beraisa "we never refrain from putting oil or hot water on a wound on Shabbos.'' (There is no need to teach that one may bathe the Milah!)

R. Yosah: R. Ze'ira, my Rebbi, always used to tell me 'teach the Mishnah to say 'and not only this - rather, one [even] may sprinkle hot water on a wound on Shabbos.'

Question: If you say that one may bathe [only] the Milah, what is the difference between a baby's wound and an adult's wound?

(R. Avahu citing R. Elazar): The Halachah follows R. Elazar ben Azaryah.

(R. Bun citing R. Avahu): R. Elazar ben Azaryah learns from "va'Yhi va'Yom ha'Shelishi bi'Hyosam Ko'avim''- it does not 'bi'Hyoso Ko'av', rather, "bi'Hyosam Ko'avim'' - this teaches that all of their limbs hurt them.

(R. Yakov bar Acha): R. Elazar and R. Yochanan commanded women who gave birth "all remedies that you do [for a circumcised baby] during the week, do them on Shabbos. Do them even when the third day is on Shabbos.''

(Shmuel): Due to danger, we may heat water for him.

(R. Yosi bei R. Bun citing Rabanan there (in Bavel)): We may heat water for him on Shabbos.

Question (Beraisa): One may heat a towel and put it on the stomach on Shabbos. One may not take a bowl full of hot water and put it on one's stomach on Shabbos. (This is forbidden due to Refu'ah on Shabbos, or lest it spill, and he bathes in water heated on Shabbos, or he will come to squeeze. All the more so one may not heat water!)

Answer (R. Yehoshua ben Levi): Here (the stomach) there is no [danger, only pain]. However, [a circumcised baby is in danger, so] it is permitted. (We explained the question and answer based on ALEI TAMAR, but not totally like him.)
