My best friend decided to circumcise her first son. She went in during the procedure. Afterward she was so guilty and regretted she put her son through it for no other reason than esthetics. Knowing what her first son endured she decided not to do it to her second son and has never regretted that decision.
My suggestion is to do your research and have anyone who is in favor watch a video of the procedure. If you’ve ever seen it you would not put any child through it.
I think not we had our baby done at 2yrs (due to health reasons his for skin would barely go over the opening and now they cut off too much skin
It’s up to you as parents to decide but if they are not kept clean it can cause issues it’s easier if they are but again personal choice don’t let others decide for you.
It’s your child and the decision should be between you and your hubs/Bf. I personally had my son circumcised because I think it looks weird and thats what I said. It isnt up to anyone one else but you.
I know of several older boys (ages 8, 9, 10) who were uncircumcised and had issues later on and had to do it later. Much more painful.
Cleaning is the most difficult part if they dont clean properly it itches but my son isnt circumsiced and its no problem.
I didn’t and that was my own choice. It’s just a personal preference and no one should get to decide but you
If I had my two boys today, I would not have them circumcised. I cannot say I was pressured, I just went with the crowd! Evolution put that foreskin there for a reason. I believe that the sensitive skin helps men to be better lovers.
Same with mine, we questioned the “why” because it’s just whats done right? When I found out what they actually do I said HELL NO! Caught a LOT of flak from everyone from a nurse friend to my own mother with all the usual arguments for it…
“ it’s cleaner” an open wound in a dirty diaper? Really?
“ he’ll be different/ made fun of/ bullied” yeah because kids are mean and where did they learn that from hmmm?
“It looks weird/ I prefer…” wait stop right there, are you trying to apply YOUR preferences onto MY child…ew…”
And on and on…
Ultimately it’s a personal choice that should be left to the person who owns the body…his body/ his choice. Until then as parents, we PROTECT them…
You make the decision that is best for you and your son. No matter what you decide, he only needs to be shown how to properly clean himself (in either scenario). That choice is for you to make, no one else.
Don’t circumcise. All three of my boys are in tact due to me not believing in it. My husband also is. The sex is better and that is what matters!
We did not circumcise our son after watching the videos and research it we decided it was not an option !
Personal choice…pros and cons both ways. All three of mine were circumcised
My advise is…You do what’sright for you son not everyone else . I had to get my son done because he had extra skin 
I have one that is and one that isnt…its a cosmetic thing. No medical reason what so ever.
As long as you know the proper way to clean and maintain, it’s your choice. He will need to be informed as well once he’s old enough. I had my son done and he is fine, my sister did not have her son’s done and he is fine. Either way, it’s your choice.
My son is almost 12 and I have literally never thought about it after that day. You do you. Honestly, if other people have a single thought about YOUR CHILDS GENITALIA they have bigger problems.
We didn’t circumcise our boy, for our own choice, but it is your baby, and your choice.
You know best for you baby, mumma!
If you teach him good hygiene there will be no problem 
Your baby your choice. Period. There are benefits to circumcision sure, but its not a necessity!
I did not. There isn’t a reason logically. And it can go badly easily
Our people, Indigenous people, never did it pre colonialism and I’m sure they were fine down there.
SAving our sons is a group just for you. They have info and resources for you to offer, check them out.
Your kid do what you want. My husband and son are not. Nothing wrong with it. 
Its no one’s business but you and the child’s father. Everyone else needs to stop. Your baby your choice.
Así the pediatrician. If he doesn’t need it, there’s no reason to circumcise him.
Before we had my son we did a lot of research and I won’t lie it scared me bad!! But ultimately my husband really wanted it done, says it’s cleaner and u don’t have to worry about foreskin to clean! So we did it and didn’t even seem to bother my son at all… Everyone is different! 
At the end of the day if your and the baby’s dads decision.
It’s whatever you decide and what you think is best for your son. Not up to anyone else everyone has a different opinion on the matter. Like myself I for one would do it for couple reasons and I know many who would never do it for their own reasons. I likely don’t have to worry as I only had daughters and am done having more. But do what you think is best
Mine isn’t. I just don’t understand how it’s “cleaner” when your son has to sit in a poopy diaper with an open wound 
idk maybe I overthink but that’s not something I’d personally be okay with doing so why would I put my son through that?
Do what you want to do mamma. It is your son. I am due in May with my first son and I will be having it done but I would never look down on a mother for not doing it.
Do whatever you feel is best. It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. Do your own research and make the decision yourself. You’re the mom.
I didn’t circumcise my two boys either. There’s no medical need to
My son got a infection at 5 years old I got it done then after that
I have 3 boys and another boy on the way. All them are/will be. Its not usually when they are younger that they have issues its when they are older that they run into more problems. I know someone that was 80 and had to get it done. Getting it older is way worse than when they are younger. Honestly its your child and your decision. You do what you want to do.
It’s your baby your choice. I have two boys and I did not circumcise and they are perfectly fine. You just have to teach them how to properly clean.
i wouldn’t do it. there is absolutely no reason to do it. it’s just cruel.
I have 4 boys who aren’t. I wanted to and all of both sides of the family wanted to, but my husband refused. Thankfully no one has had any issues. 
Not necessary. I didn’t circumcise my son. Screw what people have to say…
It’s your choice. Honestly if I would’ve known how they did it I would have never gotten my boys done.
I don’t plan to circ my son. It’s mainly done for cosmetic reasons. For me, it comes down to choice. My son, as an infant, can’t make the choice about his own body.
Its YOUR son. They have no right to an opinion. It doesn’t matter what they think.
It’s completely up to you if you do or don’t. But they say it’s cleaner if you do. Boys, and men, can get fungal infections under the fore skin if it’s not cleaned well. But I don’t think it’s very common that happens.
Also please remember not everything you hear on the internet is true and you can always ask the drs
Have 4 boys, circumcised then all. My father in law never was but continued to have infection after infection. He had it done as adult and it was painful and traumatizing.
It’s cosmetic surgery. Why force that on someone who can’t consent?
You do what you think is right. It’s not up to friends and family. Talk to your doctor about the pros and cons and make your own decision.
It’s none of anybody’s business but your own. As a kindergarten teacher I seem to have one boy a year undergo the procedure which is more complicated and uncomfortable at age five. Don’t know the actual stats just observation.
It’s your kid. Do as you wish. If you want to the cool. If you don’t want to then cool. When I taught preschool I always thought that it was a bit weird to have a stranger handling your son’s foreskin. I would circumcise mine if I had one. (Ps I don’t care if y’all want to hate me for saying so it’s a parents personal choice and it’s not like the boy is going to remember if it gets done right away, getting it done later is MUCH more of an issue)
My 6 year old is circumcised but if I ever hve another one he will not be because there is not need to do it unless there is a medical reason which is rare that there is a medical reason as a baby.
My son got a circumcision at 2 years old because he was prone to infections. He was bathed regularly, and I kept it clean as the doctors and nurses said but ultimately after his third infection he was prescribed a circumcision by his doctor. Hes been great ever since.
I know this is probably pretty rare, but if I could go back i would have done it when he was an infant, alot more traumatic when he’s a toddler.
I was a complete believer to keep him the way he was born, but if I ever have another boy he will be circumcised immediately to avoid the pain my son had to go through.
It isn’t medically necessary for most men.
My husband was circumcised but neither of our boys were. They’re perfectly fine and have no problems with it. However my husbands little cousin was not circumcised until he was around 8 and that was because the fore skin kept getting caught in his zipper and it was causing infections. Either decision is not wrong but I say if you don’t need to do it then don’t do it.
My son’s not and we have never had an issue. It’s a personal choice I find it creepy your family are all having an option in your son privates
Our son will be 10 next month and we struggled with what to do. Pediatrician and nurse said not to as it is only cosmetic.
I had the opposite dilemma.
After having male friends and family members tell me they wished it was done at birth rather than later in adulthood, we decided to do it. Some had it done by choice and others had it done out of necessity. We did it to avoid any potential issues.
Do what you think is best.
Its ultimately your choice on what happens or not. No one has a say in it but the mother and father of the child. If you dont want to do it, dont do it.
4 boys here, all grown now, never circumcised. They have not had any problems. Everytime you change diaper pull the skin back a bit. Gently. Teach him how to do this to keep himself clean when he gets older.
It’s not their child not their business. Do your research and best choice for your child without anyone’s input
Circumcision is child abuse. Simple as.
It lowers the chances of penile cancer to almost nothing.
What do you and your husband want first of all!! I know you need to get his advice as well as Dr.
My son is 6 and has never had an issue with being uncircumcised. His father is 33 and never had an issue either.
Are they an older generation? Because this was very common at one point but nowadays its basically unnecessary as long as you teach them to keep it clean. But either way, its a personal choice and really, no one needs to know.
None of their business at all. Doesn’t matter just have to make sure it stays clean.
Do what you want… My eldest is, but my youngest isn’t… If it was the lift and snip kind, I’d never have done it but I found a world known Dr in Brisbane who invented the Plastibell procedure… No pain, no blood, the only thing that upset my son was having his legs held still…
But it’s your choice, never let any judge that…
There’s no reason to circumcise. It’s literally cutting off a part of the child’s body. I have 1 son who is 13 and I wish I could go back and say no. I didn’t have access to all the knowledge I do now. Don’t let people sway you.
My 17 year old grandson is not circumcised and he is glad. He was born in California and they did not encourage circumcising
I would. This generation it’s embarrassing to them for one and it is cleaner. All that skin just keeps bacteria and isn’t good.
I have three boys. The first was circumcised with no issue whatsoever, the second was circumcised with issues that we are still dealing with 9 years later. The last one was not!
I left my two boys uncircumcised, they can have it done when they’re grown if they want to, not my body.
My son is not circumcized… Its your choice
I know you don’t care to hear this bc it’s a baby but one day he will be a man and I’ve read uncircumcised men actually get more pleasure during sex not sure if true or how that theory is tested but I read it in a men’s magazine article that was discussing the topic and a few Dr’s had made that statement
My boys are not. We weighed pros and cons and for us, the cons outweighed the pros.
I had my son circumcised. It’s easier to clean and less chance of infection.
Because people are butinskiea, do as u please. He can change it down the road if he chooses. Your baby, your choice
I think its your baby and you do what you feel is the right thing to do! It’s none of their buisness!!!
Here in Australia it’s very rarely done and if it is it’s due to a medical reason.
I have 2 boys and the thought never even crossed my mind. It’s not necessary.
My thought is, turtle necks on boys / men is not a good look and cleanliness of the turtle neck is not easy to maintain. I think it is just the right thing to do personal opinion-
it’s not up to your family. if you want him circumcised, do it. as a mother, you cannot allow other people to make you feel like the decisions you’re making are wrong. you do what you want for your kids. period. not anyone else’s decision.
Your the mom. You (and dad if in picture) need to do your research and make whatever choice you /yall feel is best. You got this mom !!
My son and grandson all are I wked in the medical field and as they get older some forget to pull skin back to wash and so nasty as in crud and smell just cleaner yeah they fuss for a couple days but for me well worth having them clean
I think it’s purely cosmetic.
My two grandsons are uncircumcised.
There was no reason to put the baby through that procedure.
I think it’s your choice. We did it because my husband is and so he looks like daddy.
My doctor said it’s better for their health. Less chance of infections & what not.
All my boys are, Idk about not I think it’s more hygienic
It’s between u and ur husband. Your husband is a man ask him if he would rather be or not.
Ive worked urology. Its so much worse when have or decide to later in life.
Ultimately, this is your decision to make. I had both my sons circumcised. I know there is no real medical need for it… But I did it.
What rubbish that you need to circumcise! We are in the 21st century and healthy cleansing habits are all that’s necessary - just the same as for girls
My four, nearly five year old has not been circumcised. We have not had any issues with it.
It’s your choice but it better to get done now before he grows up and decides to get it done
My son is 33, and I did not have him done, has been no problem
My son is 24 and I let his father make the choice but he is not circumcised never had any issues and when I assisted in pediatrics all the dr stated there was no reason to do it other than looks.
My 2 boys got it done… my choice and didn’t really care what others thought… you do what you feel is your right…
I think it’s a choice. My husband and I did circumcised our boys but I don’t think you should judge someone if they do or don’t. Do what works best for your family.
My kids are but my nephews are not and some are so it’s all to you and nobody else matters in the decision
Your child! My 3rd boy was just done on Thursday. Dont let anyone tell you how to raise your child
Congratulations on your baby boy!
This is a decision for you and your son’s father to make for your child. Research the benefits and risks of both through legitimate peer-reviewed articles or journals & talk with a pediatrician for advice if possible.
My sons and dad are intact. No issues. Just need to teach them to clean 
It is better to circumcise for health reasons in the future
