Uncircumcised males’ private parts smell if they don’t keep it clean.
My ex’s step dad needed to get circumcised at 26. he had a bad infection over all its cleaner but its yiur baby your choice
I circumcised both of my sons. I didn’t want them to think they weren’t like their father.
Look, it’s a religious thing to circumcise. There’s no benefit to doing it, just teach your boy how to clean it and it’ll be okay
Absolutely not necessary. He was born perfect.

My son is 18 and not circumcised. After we got him used to keeping everything clean there have been zero issues! No infections no health issues from having his foreskin still intact. It releases on its own slowly and as long as you keep it clean until he can do it for himself I say screw their opinions!

If you still feel obligated to entertain their criticisms just because they’re family I would invite them over for dinner followed by a mandatory screening of the documentary American Circumcision and discussion for dessert 
My boys are 46 and 36. Neither were circumcised. They were taught from toddlers how to stay clean and they have never had a problem. Its a personal choice and a personal decision.
However, my grandson wasn’t circumcised because his father wasn’t. He had some problem with the foreskin not stretching as it should and had to be circumcised at 18 months.

It’s MUCH harder to keep clean, and infections can abound. That’s my reason I circumsized my boy. I found out later that his peepee skin had been stuck since his birth and it was very very irritated after the circumcision.

There is no good reason for it, beside religious beliefs
If you don’t have it done you have to make sure you always pull the foreskin back when cleaning the baby. And as he grows up he has to do the same. When he is a man he will always be careful when having sex with multiple people. Could result in infections

Correct me if I’m wrong, it it’s not your family’s son. It’s yours.
Join your whole baby. They have lot of great info on keeping your baby whole and why. Routine newborn circumcision is an American thing. No other countries do it, just to do it. Most men in the world are intact and do not have any problems. Most of the so called problems men have, are due to improper newborn care. YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO RETRACT the foreskin!!! Most of the men who have problems as an adult, were probably retracted as an infant, causing issues…
I have 5 boys not one was circumcised just teach them to clean it! I even taught them as a single mom… it’s your choice. But one thing now my boys say they wish I would of done it? Just my thoughts

Yes!! It could cause problems later and after much pain, have to been done anyway later.
It’s not necessary at all!! I have three sons, 32, 30 and 18, and my husband,not circumcised, never have a problem, never!! And my pediatrician never told me to do it either 
I did not circumcise my son. Your choice. Personally I find the tradition to be cruel and inhumane, and there is no medical reason for it.

My husband and his 2 brothers aren’t due to his parents Catholic affiliation. However, when we had our 2 sons he insisted they be circumcised and said he wishes his parents had done theirs. I based the decision off of his personal views on it.

Your choice. You will have to teach him how to pull back to clean around the head. Uncircumcised can keep infections again if not taught how to keep him fresh and clean. Lol. My nephew was not circumcised

It’s what ever you want to do. My husband and I have decided our son is going to be circumcised. But it’s only because we have both had family members have medical problems from not being circumcised and having to have it later in life. Nothing to do with infections either.
My pediatrician said when she had boys, she was against it, bit her husband said middle school boys are cruel in the locker rooms. She thought about it, and realized only a few in her practice were not circumcised…so she had it done.

I had all my boys circumcised at birth, the main reason, my uncle had not been circumcised as a baby, after countless infections in life ( UTI ans yeast ) and doctors telling him repeatedly ( as young man and into adulthood ) he was finally circumcised in his late 30s. It was a horrible experience for him, I can’t imagine what he was going through at the time and over the years. It ultimately caused some type of permanent damage ( waiting so long to have it done )
In the long run, it’s up to you and what you feel best is for your child(ren). Do some research, think it over, decide what y’all think is best 
Best wishes!
When my brother was about 8. He got an infection in the foreskin and had to get a circumcision. He went thru so much pain. I opted to have both my boys circumcised at birth.

It’s your son so you should just do want you feel is best .
I have two boys oldest is circumcised and the youngest is not…so far only difference is my youngest on rare occasions gets infections cuz his foreskin is very tight at the tip and even with keeping it clean it still happens … Otherwise it doesn’t seem to effect them either way…
Do what you feel in your heart is right for you. If you decide to have it done… good for you. If you decide to not have it done… good for you.
When in doubt…ask your Doctor! Never mind the media.
If you don’t he can develop an infection
Do good hygiene and teach good hygiene. Don’t cut off body parts
I don’t know you, but It’s more about cleanliness. Not sure if your child would ever be teased, but that could also be a reason. We circumcised our son. God had a covenant with the Jews, ( I’m not Jewish)that they should circumcise. Bottom line, talk to your doctor for advice. Do it early if you go that route. Good luck.
His body his choice! Good job Mama!
Me and my sons dad decided to circumcised him, just because we wanted to help keep it cleaner and for other reasons as well. In the end it’s your decision to or not. And personally it’s not up to your friends or family if you do or don’t, your the parent not them they didn’t carry your son nor did they give birth to them. Who cares what they think, you can take there advise and do what you will with it.
1 Is the young man’s embarrassment with his Lovers. 2. It is very difficult to avoid yeast and other odors or infections with all the extra foreskin.3. It is more uncomfortable during intercourse for the female with the extra skin during foreplay or oral sex.

It’s simple, your son, your decision!
Circumcision is purely cosmetic. 70% of the world male population is intact, the U.S. is one of the only countries left that practice routine infant circumcision.
What you’re doing is taking away your child’s right to consent + 20,000 nerve endings, natural lubrication, 2 g-spots, etc.
He’s your son, you do what you want. I didn’t circumcise my son. don’t let anyone make you feel no type of way because you didn’t 
My question is, Why are you discussing your childs genitals with anyone. That definitely falls in the ’ none of your business’ category.
Your baby, your decision. I dealt with this also when I was pregnant with my son. Me and my husband made the decision it was the baby’s body and if he wanted to be circumcised, he could do it when he gets older. It’s nobody’s business what’s going on in your child’s diaper except you and his father. Simple as that.

My husband was not circumcised as a baby and ended up having continuous medical problems, until he was almost 5 when the doctors deemed it necessary for him to have it performed. He says its burned into his memory and one of his earliest childhood traumatic experiences. We circumcised our son when he was born.
Just have to teach to clean down there .
I have 2 boys and both are circumcised. No regrets, glad we did it
it is a VERY personal and sometimes religious decision…with that said, we have 3 boys and all 3 were circumcised at birth. My sister’s husband was circumcised as an adult and IT WAS SUPER UNPLEASANT for both of them…
Yeah I did the same they can decide once they are older. I wouldn’t do it.
My boys are 5 and 8, they have never had any kind of infection, they bathe twice a week and just wash themselves quickly with soap and water.
In the uk it’s really unusual to circumcise children. It’s not something we think about at all. Seems very unnecessary to me.

Don’t do it. My husband is and wishes he wasn’t. There is more sensation when not circumcised. No medical reason to do it. Before I had my son, I watched a video of a baby being circumcised and that did it for me. My son was not going through that pain for no reason. Watch a video.
I had both of my boys done. Neither of them hate me, or have any feelings about it lol. That being said, one of them wasn’t done correctly the first time and had to be done a second time at 2yrs old. He still doesn’t remember it and doesn’t hate me lol but what you do with your kids is your business. Your choice
