Return of the Child

 

The main carrier (Kvatter) picks up the baby at the end of the ceremony and gives it back to his wife – It is very common that the Kvatter not having in mind that it is up to him to bring the baby back has left in the meantime, so the Mohel makes him call. If he is not found another person will perform this function.

The carrier (Kvatterin) picks up the baby and carries it to the mother. She was standing where she had delivered the baby at the entrance to the room where the circumcision was performed.
