I would not circumcise my son
Your sons foreskin serves a huge purpose! It has 20,000 nerves, 16 functions and a franlum aka g spot. All mammals have foreskin from little girls all the way to your male dog if they got yeast or a uti would you get them cut? the foreskin is there for protection and natural lubrication. As an infant into toddler and childhood the foreskin is fused to keep out bacteria and germs.

As long as you teach him proper cleaning techniques, he will be just fine living uncircumcised! 
My ex had NO issues whatsoever…
I have a friend who had it done as an adult because of some health issues with it. He said he wished it had been done as an infant because it was a very bad experience for him.
Didnt circumcise any of my 3 boys and they never had an issue… But to each their own.
Why the hell should your family have any input on what you decide to not do to your sons genitals? Wtf
It makes my job easier when I have to put a foley in. Have a few uncircumcised male patients, none of them clean well enough, common site for infection and odor. It is a common practice for catholics and Jewish community. Most dads have this thing about their sons looking like them. I had my son circumcised because I know from experience that men are slobs. They don’t wipe
My daughter’s boyfriend had issues so he got circumcised at 19. He had a terrible infection. It was very painful.
depends if his foreskin can be pulled back. grandsons cannot and might need circumcising later he is now 16.

My boys are both circumcised. At the end of the day it’s your decision. Mine don’t have any health issues or any problems & they’re 14 &12. Your family has to take a backseat and you in the Forefront make the best decision for your baby, you’re the parent

Also watch elephant in the hospital. I have a 3 year old intact son, and everybody wanted me to circumcise him. There is no need! No benefits. It’s actually beneficial to leave him as God intended. Easy to clean and never had an issue! Good luck mama!
I didn’t alter my boy.
If there’s issues I will take care of them later on
As a medical professional, having seen adult men have to have it done, my advice is to circumcise.
That being said, it’s your decision. You don’t want to do it, don’t. Don’t let anybody tell you what’s best for your child.

I think it’s a good thing to have done.
However, if you’re set on not having it done- that’s your choice and you should just state it plain and simple to your family. Even if they ~are~ right, you still can do what you want.
I personally have known people who have had to have it done as a teen… & was VERY painful & recovery is longer (unlike having it done as a baby). Then, I know elderly men start to fall short with hygiene and end up having to have a circumcision as an elderly man.
But again, if your family has expressed these concerns to you and you still don’t want to circumcise, that is completely your choice.
Now, as for people saying “why are they saying anything at all?”
Well- I would express concerns for my nephews. But that don’t mean that ultimately their mother will do things my way. And what is family for if they never advise us on anything? Ya know? I wouldn’t be offended. But if I’ve considered everything and still don’t want to- I would state it plainly.
Its the equivelent to cutting a womans clitoris
We allowed our teen to decide.
Do what you feel is best. Or talk to your doctor. Don’t take fb opinions.
I didn’t circumcise and he’s fine
As long as u keep it clean it wont fall off
My friend who is 54 just had to get his circumcised due to the skin restricting blood flow. He said he wished he had it down at birth instead of 54.
In our religion if u have a baby boy u need to circumcise him after 30days
Its for hygienic purposes
But im scared that time for my son bcoz he cant talk or say anything yet
D nurse advised me its better to circumcise him if he reached 5-6yo at least he can say if he feel pain or something
We make it when he was 5yo and im dying to hear outside of d room d way he screamed 
tearing my heart 
After a week its healed and we pass d struggle that every lil boy will encounter 
Thank God

I did not circumcise my son
My husband and father both were not circumcised and they felt uncomfortable when they got older and did it. They both said it was the worst pain you could ever imagine. So I did it just so its done and I didnt have to go through that when my sons get older.

Take this into consideration. I circumcised my son, because 22 years ago I didn’t have resources available today. Dad was circumcised, so we went with what we knew. Working pediatrics and being in charge of circumcising baby after baby, I feel like it’s cruel and unnecessary. You are literally cutting nerves that can bring sexual pleasure. Yes, lower cases of UTI’s and infections, but % wise not unlike women who are susceptible. If you teach your son how to clean properly, that lowers the risk.
To actually watch this procedure is horrifying. I regret it. I wish my son had the opportunity to choose for himself if he wanted to be circumcised. Just my 2 cents.

My son isn’t circumcised.
Thank you for doing the right thing sometimes later on when guys get older they may have issues in may need to be circumcised but that is an issue when it comes to it. don’t listen to anybody say that it’s cleaner or anything cuz I’m sorry it’s not hard to wash your dick and second off apparently being circumcised prevents you from having UTIs bulshit. I don’t like that but I’ve fallen in deep depression hole and have gone points where I haven’t showered for 6 months I’m not cut and have never had a single issue down there
I had my now 2 year old circumcised bc I was a first time mom and everyone I know circumcised their boys and all the guys I know are circumcised. Was my baby “fine” after… yes… as far as I know. After doing more research on the subject and since learning of more than a few boys who had to have the procedure redone bc it wasnt done properly the first time and really reading exactly what is being done it horrified me that I put my brand new baby thru that. I cant even think about it without being sad or feeling like I’m a terrible mother for putting my child thru that after he just entered the world. Idk, had I known what I know now and not been a naive first time mom I would not do it again.

My son is 29 and he thanked me for getting him circumcised.
My ex-husband refused to let my son get circumcised. Now, at almost 7 years old my poor baby has to get circumcised because his foreskin is tight and cant be retracted to be fully cleaned. If we do pull it back, it has a high chance of getting stuck and cutting off the circulation to the head. I highly suggest getting your son circumcised. I wish i had.

I didn’t circumcise my son…until he was 7 and I HAD to. Erections were painful and he kept getting bacterial infection under the skin. No matter how well he was kept clean or whether or not I used baby powder he would still get them. His doctor made it very clear these problems would only worsen as he got older. I got a second opinion and another just to make sure surgery was the only option and unfortunately it was. It was horrible! It was such a traumatic experience for him and it killed me to see him in such pain knowing had I done it at birth he wouldn’t have even remembered the pain. Do some research and talk to a doctor about. I also had a friend who had it done wen he was 23 due to similar issues and he had a stern talk with his mother! I would highly recommend it knowing wat I now kno and going thru it all with my son.

It’s your decision. My twins aren’t circumcised and my family gave me flack for it. I still hear about it even though the boys are two. Teach your boy proper hygiene and he’ll be fine! Stand your ground and make sure they know that you are his mom, not them.

I personally chose to have my son circumcised for my own reasons. I know people that have chosen not to. It has not traumatized either of my sons. It did not traumatized my friend’s son to not be. I do have a couple of friends whose sons had issues with skin infections under the flap as the boys grew up, but nothing serious. I think it’s just a decision you need to make for yourself based on what you feel is best for your child.

Congratulations! 
I have two intact sons and have found yourwholebaby.org to be the most incredible resource. They also have a wonderful Facebook group too. If you are feeling pressured by others to circumcise, encourage them to watch Child Circumcision: An Elephant in the Hospital by Professor R. McAllister on YouTube. It’s educational and eye opening. I hope this helps!

It’s non of anyone’s business whether you circumcise him or not. It’s your choice. I had my son done at 2 days but they couldn’t do it because his urethea was bigger than normal so we had to wait until he was a year old so they could fix it surgically repair it. And even at a year old he doesn’t remember, he was not traumatized. But again it was my choice had his mother. You do what you feel is best for him
Unless it’s a religious thing- it’s much cleaner for boys to be circumcised.

My father was not circumcised but my brothers and sons were. My husbands son was not circumcised ,he is 40. When I would give him bath I had to pull back his for skin and clean it. In this day and age that could be a felony. Talk to your pediatrician before making a decision.
I’m planning to circumcise my son when he will reach 6th grade. It’s not only for aesthetics but also for a cleaner genital you know.

A majority of Men in the world (billions and billions) are not Circumcised and they are fine. The foreskin is supposed to be there. It damages the body to remove it.
My family were also against my decision to not circumcise my son. At some point you just have to realize you’re the parent and unless your child is in danger there is no need to listen to others if you have already made an informed decision. 90% of the world is not circumcised, the US is the largest country in the world to practice it, while in places like the UK and Australia 99% of their men are not circumcised. My son is little over a year and we have had no issues with him. If you keep him clean everything will be fine.

Every mammal has a foreskin protecting the clitoral or penile glans. When aroused they both engorge with blood flow and grow out of their covering. Arousal is a temporary state, not a permanent look. In babies the foreskin stays fused to the glans until puberty and shouldn’t be retracted by anyone but the boy/girl when they are ready because retraction is a sexual function.

Non circumcising him can lead to lots of urinary infections and if not kept clean can cause a lot of pain for them. Circumcision is really better for then.

I think it’s completely up to you. If problems arise for some reason, which I doubt that’ll happen, deal with it then. My son is circumcised but I don’t judge parents who opt for not doing it
Your son …get him circumcised…
Foreskin isn’t “extra”, it isn’t “leftover”, and it isn’t unsanitary. It is a specialized skin organ with a specific purpose. Shall we start circumsizing baby girls “to prevent infection”? Seems just as plausible to surgically remove the labia and clitorial hood since there are so many nooks and crannies and crevices that could be missed during cleaning 
Funny though, when you lop off girl genitals it is mutilation but when you remove part of a boys sex organ it is normal and healthy. INTACT PENISES ARE NORMAL AND HEALTHY - CIRCUMSIZED PENISES ARE NOT SAFER OR HEALTHIER. Foreskin is normal and useful; mutilated penises are not the default.

I circumcised. I don’t know that I made the right decision, but it was the one I made. I don’t like the thought of hurting a child, especially when they are too young to consent. It is also a procedure that has cultural repercussions, if not done, and if done is best done as a baby. So who knows.

My son is 3. He is not circumcised. I felt as though it should be his choice regarding his sex organs. After research I get even more so that I was making the best decision to let him decide and prevent possible issues from something that couldn’t be undone. Turns out it saved his life because at the age of 2 he required a standard surgery for adenoids and tonsils and blood work showed he is hemophiliac. He’s never had any issues and has never had infections. It’s easy to clean and care for. Plus I felt that showing him I respect his body will teach him to respect others. I’ll add my grandfather passed at 84 and was not circumcised. Had a healthy marriage of 64 years, 5 children and never had an issue. Best advice is to research it. Watch videos and get correct updated Information.
