Delaying the circumcision unnecessarily after recovery:[1]
It is forbidden for one to delay the circumcision for even one day past the date the child is deemed medically and Halachically strong enough for it to take place. For every day that a father leaves his son uncircumcised past the eighth day, he transgresses a positive command. [By twin boys, one is not to delay the circumcision until both boys are healthy enough to be circumcised and rather each boy should be circumcised when they are independently ready and strong enough.[2]]
______________________________________________________[1] See Admur 249:6 “and so too the circumcision, even if it is not on the eighth day from birth, it is not possible to push it off to another day, as it is forbidden for one to be left uncircumcised even single day” [See also Admur 248 KU”A 1; Admur 331:4]; M”A 249:5; 568:10; Rama Y.D. 261:1; Rambam Mila 1:2; Noda Beyehuda Tinyana Y.D. 166; Chochmas Adam 149:2; Igros Kodesh 24:396; 7:143; Shevach Habris 7:4; Pesakim Uteshuvos 262:4 and Poskim in Footnotes 23-26
