Question

Boy baby born on 02/10/2025 @ 3:30 pm. Please Tell me when will do brit mila for this baby.

Answer

Shalom!

Thank you for your question.

A bris is performed 8 days following the birth. The day of birth is deemed to be "day 1" no matter when the birth took place. 

It appears that the birth took place long before sunset, making Thursday, Oct 2, "day 1."

As such, if the baby is deemed healthy by the mohel, the bris will take place  on Thursday Oct. 9, anytime before sunset, though preferably in the morning.
