Your baby, your choice. I did, because my brother had probs and had it done at 7 and it was horrible. I know of an adult male that had it done and said it was horrible. So I wanted it done so in case they had probs in the future they wouldn’t remember it. Plus my first kids dad wasn’t circd and it was ugly af lol

One of my three sons is not circumsiced and I actually wanted him to be it just didn’t happen right after birth and wanted to wait til he was 4 mo to do it and I said nevermind because the pain would be so much worse. Personally I prefer circumcision not only because of infection but also wearing underwear can be painful when the skin gets twisted up in the fabric and also the risk of zipping it up in jeans. Both has happened to my poor 3yr old. He was potty trained before he was 3 for day and night and being a big boy he wanted to take himself potty and didn’t understand how he could hurt himself. He’ll be 4 in August and has since learned to pee safely. I just hate seeing them hurt themself.
This is such a personal decision. Nobody can tell you what’s right for you. Do what you have Peace with.
Its up to you, theres pros and cons either way. Also it can go the other way too, I circumcised my boys and regret it 
first one I was young and felt pressured my family, 2nd I felt like I “had to” because his brother was
I did not have my son circumcised because he was born early and had enough to deal with at that time. Now he has a son of his own - and he didn’t circumcise him - so I believe he thinks that’s best.
Everyone has their opinion on this im sure… But I believe you should circumcise him. It’ll prevent future infections and other health issues.
I know men who had the skin removed as adults because of different health issues.
Read up on it and decide for yourself. Personally, I vote not to because I’ve seen the problems it can cause and it’s better for them as men sexually.its not necessary and it is painful for your baby.
Circumcision is not medically necessary. Please leave him whole.
My two boys were done at birth.

People are going to judge you whether you do it or not. You do what you think is best for your children . My hubby is uncut and he hates it . My 2 year old is circumcised.

I highly recommend getting it done. There are so many medical concerns that arise, infection is a big one. But in the end you are the parents and if you choose not to then props to you! Don’t let anyone make the choice for you!
I have 2 boys. Oldest(8yrs) is and the youngest (2yrs) isn’t. Both at very different parts of my life and belief of why it should or shouldn’t be done. My oldest has questions about it some days and we answer them honestly…
Honestly momma it is up to you and your husband. If you feel it is right or not its your decision. Research it. Ask his doctors, ask insurance… make your own informed decision.
There’s no right and wrong here, do what you feel it right for ur baby. My son is 9 and hasn’t had it done… And he is fine and has no problems what so ever.
So you want him to have to go get it done as an adult?
Much more painfully memorable!
My son isn’t, it’s not really a thing in the UK unless you’re Jewish or have a medical problem.
It’s a hygiene thing. I guess I’ll add that my so has said he is glad we had it done.

My boys intact, and idc what family thought, if he wants it done later in life if its possible we will get it done, to me, ill let him make that choice. I just never saw a reason to make his life any harder.
My 5 boys are not they were taught how to care for themselves (oldest is 28) they’ve never had issues but do lots of research it’s ultimately up to you and your spouse
Your family do not take the decision. It the parents. One of my boys got it…the other two not. No problem, with any if them. Ages 8-10-14…now. so… it’s what make you feel right.
i circumcised my son but they did a half ass job so its not fully circumcised, i wish i didnt its more work teaching them how to clean it properly however ive heard getting it done makes it so it looses some feelings and looses some size. honestly its to each their own. its your choice do you want
If there is a medical reason then ok…otherwise no…it’s their body and up to them when they are old enough to decide!!!
A friend of mine once said she saw what they do to circumsized a baby and she would never get a baby go threw that.
I’m not. No issues here in nearly 29 years of life.

It’s literally for cosmetic reasons. I just had a baby a couple months and regret putting him thru the unnecessary pain
Definitely not making a mistake. Babies are born the way they are supposed to be born.
Do it. As a geriatric nurse I’ve seen all sorts of infections and problems that could have been prevented. It’s much easier to clean a circ than the steps needed to cleanse uncircumsised.
Post op care is simple and a caring doc will do it gently and humanely

My boys are, one of mine did not have enough skin cut off so it was like he was uncircumcised. I went over good hygiene with him multiple times as far as making sure to pull the skin back and all. It can be hard in kids. He ended up having to have it done again at an older age and it was more traumatic. I would say it’s your decision, but recurrent infections (my sons issue) would be the biggest issue.
My son is. Its easier for them to take care of if you do it. And will cut down on infections.
I think it’s weird when people are sooo concerned over your CHILDS genitals. It’s literally no one’s business but yours and your husband’s.
It is a personal choice, there is no medical reason to have it done.
I think it depends on the person and how you feel. We got my son circumcised.
What you do with your baby’s genitals is you and his father’s business, only. No one’s opinion matters more than the two of you, other than your doctor.

The foreskin is there for a reason. Just like your eyelids and eyelashes. I once by accident waxed off my eyelashes. Only then realizing their importance. The clinic sister eould gently loosen the skin little at a time. The only " infections" a man/ boy can get is if he doesnt MAINTAIN personal higene!!!.
Years agi i was in hospital and the lady next to me told about her son who had tooo much foreskin removed and the problems, medical bills. And finally sueing the Dr. Cannot repair the damage… I am glad neither my son or grandson ( 23) had this savage procedure done. Its NOT NORMAL
Its YOUR CHILD. You do what You feel is best for him. Dont let anyone pressure you into one or the other.
My husband isn’t and there’s no issues and no health issues. I dont see the big deal.
My son is circumcised and my next son will be too. I thought I would be easier but sometimes it wasn’t. This is what I wanted to do. I don’t see any issue with a boy not being circumcised. Don’t let others make you worry or anything. It’s completely up to you. Also they should mind their own business.
I didn’t circumcise either one of my boys. I don’t see a problem with your decision. They are maybe just used to the old school ways of doing things.

I had my son done. No problems at all. My friend chose not to and has had to deal with infections. It’s your choice though.
It’s usually done or not for religious belief. Do what you feel is right.
It’s up to you. Its your child. Not theirs.
One of my close family members ( very clean) had to be circumsized in his 30’s. Better as an infant believe him!!!
Do it. He will only have to have it done later. He won’t remember it now but will later if you wait. T

I am not a mom. My wife and i ran into this debate when my son was born. As it is an unnecessary medical procedure we chose not to have him circumcised. As long as you allow the skin to separate from the head in its own time and bath him regularly it isn’t an issue. The only reason to remove the skin is religious reasons.
It’s by far easier leaving them as is than tending to a newborn with an unnecessary genital wound. All you have to do is wipe them clean or swish them in a bath. My sons are middle school and high school.age and have never had any problems EVER.

I have 3 adult boys who told me they kind of wished they were able to make that choice. Kids are so progressive now a days.
Only about 50% of boys born in America today are being cut at birth. Sounds like your family needs caught up. I have 2 perfect boys who both got to keep their whole body.
Thing is my little fella. Got circumsized. And something happened. Few days after. It didn’t look like it had been done.

I turned out fine. The only reason men without circumcision have trouble with infections and such is because they are not taught to clean it thoroughly. I have had no medical issues because of not being circumcised.

I have 2 sons. Both are cut. The oldest was put under because he got his at 8 months old (which was when he had his hernia surgery, which he had to be under for anyways).
Discuss it with your husband and do what you guys feel is best don’t let anybody pressure either which way
People have opinions. It’s your choice. Do what you feel is that right thing for your child. Opinions are like assholes… lol
Of course chop chop chop. What in the world why not ? Don’t get me started…
It’s your choice my boys are but my husband isn’t !!!
My son isn’t circumcised and he’s just fine. I’m at the point in my life where I need to show him that need to fold it back and clean it in the shower but otherwise. He’s a perfectly happy, healthy, little boy. Do what you think is right for your son. Don’t listen to your family. The only person you should be looking to and listening to is your doctor and your husband/boyfriend. The three of you and only the 3 of you have the power to make that decision. And no one can make you feel like crap for that decision except yourself. You are not making a mistake. They are concerned because of the eras they grew up in. They were told different things and had different experiences that they think are the same for everybody and they are not. You do you. Whatever you decide is the best decision. Don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise. (My son is in my profile picture. Perfectly happy.) Keep your chin up!

I’m wondering why you would ask the world much less Facebook if you should or should not do this???
Is he your child or theirs? Are they gonna raise him or you? Are they paying for him to be raised or you?
I would but I guess that’s my opinion, won’t give reasons why as all the Karen’s jump on board , like there opinion is better than mine
Its not up to your family. Your the mom. Cant you make your own decisions??
What it comes down to is…do your research, and do what you think is best. He is YOUR son after all not theirs.
Since when is it their choice what you do with your child
Sleeping bag or Helmet ? That is the question.
Mine isn’t circumcised, I felt it’s torture, watch a video of what they have to do to do it… I kept having ppl tell me he will be different for other boys and they will pick on him… my brother isn’t circumcised, and he was fine, and never got picked on. The only advice I’m gonna give you is every time you give him a bath, put epsom salt in the bath, it helps keep it clean from bacteria. My mom learned that the hard way and my brother’s thing got infected. He had to put cream on it to heal it, and the doc told her every time he bathed he needs to have epsom salt in the bath. And so far with my son we haven’t had any issues… follow what you feel is correct… circumcision is just a fashion thing. It doesn’t have any real benefits. Infact as an adult male, it lowers their sexual drive compared to an uncircumcised.
Circumcise for him and his self image as he becomes an adult, not what you want! Mother of four boys and six grandsons!
It’s your child, not theirs! Do your research! Don’t take advice on the health of your family sweetie!

I do believe it’s yourwholebaby.org or something similar. There are also whole baby groups on FB that have a lot of good information and parent support
No need to circumcise. Neither my husband or son are circumcised, and they are fine.
There is no medical reason for this. In the old Testament a Jewish Male had to be circumcised to belong to God. In the new Testament God said not necessary anymore. It’s now a circusism of the heart. So a history lesson where it came from. The decision is yours. You are Mama

Why ask others, do what YOU think is right.
I believe that’s a choice that you should make on your own as his parents. Personally, all 4 of my boys have been circumcised and because of our personal religious beliefs, not doing it was never even considered. I don’t regret it and would make the same decision if I had it to do over.
