It’s your choice! I circumcised my boys and I regret it. Circumcision was used back in the day for health reasons and at one point they thought circumcising would stop boys from masturbating. 
now we have antibiotics if it were to get infected but the skin doesn’t separate until they are around teenage years. It is completely up to you and you alone!!!

I would do research on the internet that lays out specific facts for each side of this . I have two boys and both are circumcised, to me it’s too weird for them to not be. Also I know it’s more likely for infections bc young boys don’t always clean their bodies like they should so they don’t pull back the foreskin like they should. And I know a couple people who regretted the choice and had them circumcised at like 18 months and that’s absolutely horrible. Both my sons never even cried when circumcised at 2 days old
Do the research yourself so you know that your the one whos making the informed decision. They are clearly misinformed. There isn’t a legit reason to mutilate your child’s genitals. Period.

As long as you are informed on care of it either way and both you and dad agree that is all that matters.
MOMMA U DO WHAT U THINK IS BEST FOR YOUR BABY!! I myself have 2 boys and i had them done but because I had a nephew not done n it became infected as he was a teen and than had to have it n poor boy suffered. But keep him clean n show him as he gets older to take care of his self CORRECTLY and he will be fine.
I was with my sister out to dinner once with a group of people and we somehow got on the topic of this. Everyone was telling her she needs to do it if she ever has a son, and she told them it’s no ones concern of what’s going on with the genitalia of her child if she ever has one. That ended it quick lol. Do what you and you’re husband think is right.
Your child your choice end of story no opinions asked for or need … tell them that

I’ve worked in Urology and have seen many infections in men old and young not circumcised and also those same ones not hygienic and developing nfections and needing surgery to circumcise at a later age due to infection and not being able to retract foreskin. Its not mean, awful, torture. Ive seen too many adults and older children needing it when could have been done when younger and not been as painful

Do whatever you want. I circumcised my boys but there’s not a really big reason why you have to. And its none of their business anyway. No one in my family ask me to even criticize my decision.
In the end its your choice. We did it to our son because my husband is and i wanted them to match so he didnt have questions. Also the look of uncircumcised ones has always creeped me out.

His body, his choice. I have 3 adult sons not cut. Not one single issue. No infections. Nothing. Its absolutely horrible and disgusting to do it. Watch American circumcision documentary. Go with your gut. Leave the little guy as is. And btw, as a nurse I have never ever seen infections in anyone left intact. I have in females and we treat them with antibiotics. Not amputation.

I have a perfect happy whole little boy. He hasn’t had any issues. I have family in Europe where it’s unheard of, and seen as what it’s is. Genital mutilation, no different than FGM. Also, they don’t have penile infections like here in elderly anywhere else, that’s due to neglect in nursing care homes. As we see circumcision rates decline (which we are seeing drastic changes now) we will have better healthcare provided to whole men 
Your son, as long as you properly clean and teach him how to properly clean himself, it is no one’s business!!!
I’m always so astonished when I hear how much parents share and entertain other people’s opinions about major and minor concerns regarding their children. I personally think you should not circumcise but whatever decision you make for your son is just that and that alone Your Decision. No one else’s opinions even matter.
3 boys: 18, 17 and 4, none are circumcised and no problems

Its no ones decision but yours. Everyone has their imput on this subject but ultimately its your final call. We had our son done when he was afew weeks old for our reasons, some people agreed and some didn’t. But its you who has to be happy with your decision. 
if op would like to message me they are more then welcome and I can give some input on the procedure and healing process if they need some clarifications aswell
In the end its ur choice. I had both my sons circumcised. If it’s not cleaned properly it can get infected under the foreskin. I dont think,no matter how much u teach them, children r conscious enough to give it proper care when they wanna b big boy and wash themselves.

We personally could only find cosmetic reasons to do it and neither of us wants to force a body change if it isn’t necessary.
As long as you keep up with hygiene and teach him how to do it himself it’s fine.

No medical association in the world recommends routine infant circumcision. It is purely cosmetic (even the billing code is cosmetic) permanent and painful and it takes away the 16 functions of the foreskin. There are no valid medical reasons to circumcise. You are doing the right thing

I did not circumcise my son because there is no medical reason to do it… it’s an old religious thing and people are stuck in the past.
I don’t see why you would do this to a child unless there was a real reason to do it… and the look of their penis is not a good reason 
We chose not to. No particular reason. He was born that way and we were fine with it and there was no medical reason to do it. Then my husband saw some documentary on Netflix and was like omg not doing it was the best decision we have ever made and even had him reflect and ask, who are to alter our child’s body and was offended that he didn’t get to make the decision himself.
If my kid gets older and wants it. I’ll support him but his body, his choice
Both of my boys, specifically for health reasons.
Ask a grown man who isn’t done and see how they feel 2 out of 3 of mine had to be done for medical reasons but your baby your choice
I love the engery in this comment section. Your child your choice. No shaming. That’s how it should be
I had a nephew from a step marriage and he at 17 decided he wanted to be circumcised. I know it is your decision but please do the pros and cons for it. It was very painful at 17 and much more expensive.
Do what ever you feel is best. There’s pros and cons to both. I didn’t circumcise my son and I also didn’t ask for anyone’s opinion or listen when they tried to give unsolicited advice.

It’s an unneeded procedure that permanently alters a part of your child. You are making the right choice. Coming from a guy. Don’t chop part of his penis off.
When they get older and they haven’t been they get alot of infections
Light a match. It works.
The good news is that circumcision is unnecessary, and he can be spared all the risks, side effects, and guaranteed negative outcomes. Super easy to care for an intact penis. Clean what you see, wipe it like a finger or rinse it arouns in the bath. Average age for full retraction is 10.5 years old, nobody should ever need to retract or manipulate his foreskin until he is mature.
if you want your son to marry a woman of religion I strongly suggest you do it

We didn’t circumcise our son and I am glad we didn’t - there is no medical reason for routine infant circumcision, it is an unnecessary cosmetic surgery. No issues so far in my son’s three years of life. If he wants to modify his body as an adult, then at least he is able to make the choice for himself.

I got my son circumcised. They didn’t take enough foreskin away so he has half a circumcision. It didn’t start effecting him until a year when he was supposed to get it done again. Well covid happened. No one would do it bc it’s “not necessary” but the foreskin was literally pulling away from his penis. There was white stuff and blood because of it but still nothing could be done🤔. If I have another boy, I would be cautious of getting it done

As a woman, I wouldn’t marry a man who is circumcised.
You are not making a mistake. Its there for a reason, many of them. Leave it be.

Mainstream circumcision is an American thing or a Jewish thing. The rest of the world doesn’t really go in for male genital mutilation at birth.

For all saying your little kids have had no problems without being cut… Well duhh you as a momma are their to help make sure they are clean and taken care of. When they become adults and god forbid have health issues that land them in a hospital/nursing home thats when they will have their problems. Not all nurses will take the time to make sure that an elderly patient’s foreskin was properly cleaned 🤷
Tell them to fuck off. It’s your choice. My mother demonised me for choosing not to and cited old ass, outdated information to try to convince me otherwise. Even went so far as to tell me I was hurting my son in the long run and everyone would make fun of him for being uncut (who tf is gonna be lookin at my kids junk that closely!??)
I chose to not circumcise. His father and step father are both uncircumcised and have had zero issues.
I did lots of independent research, even asked all the men I’m comfortable with enough if they’re circumcised and if not, issues? All of them said no issues.
You’re not making a mistake. You are the mother, you choose whether you want to or not, if they don’t like your choice then that’s not their problem. Go with what you want.

Him not being circumcised is totally fine as long as you teach him proper hygiene,infections can be awful but that’s for anyone that gets a genitalia infection ! Also when you get them circumcised it cuts out a certain sexual gland I think a doctor told me one time and I don’t even have a son lol I have a daughter ,Do what YOU and his daddy feels if right !

So, my dad was circumcised a few tears ago. He will be 76 this year. Since he was older, it was a lot harder on him. He kept getting infections and even though they tried to treat it with antibiotics, it still wouldn’t heal as when we get older, things happen Almost like going back to toddler stage. Well, it got to where he really couldn’t pee as he was really struggling with it. It made him really sick. Since he has been circumcised, he hasn’t had any more issues. He steadily asked me if my son was done, I told him yes and the relief on his face made my heart sank as I knew how much pain he went through. He doesn’t want my son to go through what he did. Now, this is just an experience that I wanted to share. Not saying all happen this way but if you look at nursing homes or assisted living places, you will find that this becomes an issue as maintaining their cleaning gets harder when they’re older. Infections happen a lot. Not trying to scare you, just letting you know the things that can occur.

Dont circumcise. It is purely cosmetic and unless a medical professional says Hey nah you need to than you absolutely DO NOT NEED TO. Babies have DIED from loss of blood because it is NOT NEEDED TO BE DONE. A foreskin is an important part of the penis and protects hundreds of nerves.

My oldest is done. I was young and did what everyone told me to do. I did a lot of research when I had my 2nd son almost 7 years later and I decided not get him done. I felt like it was better to leave it. I wish I never got my oldest done. Just make sure you do your own research and listen to your mommy gut. It always knows best.
They’re not concerned, they’re going on old news and familiarity.
My boys are intact, we taught them to wash and rinse without pulling the foreskin back, and have never had an issue.
You do what feels best based on the evidence that the body grows foreskin for a reason 
it was never meant to be cut off.

I have a son that is not fully circumcised and one that is completely. My oldest we did a partial (may not be the correct medical term) circumcision to so he could be “safe” in the event he is not clean enough but to where his head wouldn’t be completely desensitized when he is older. My youngest is completely circumcised because when he was born, his head was too big for the opening of the foreskin. If we didn’t circumcise him, he ran the risk of his foreskin to completely close from the littlest laceration. If he got a rash or any kind of skin trauma it could seal his head. So we had to go to a specialist to circumcise him.
Also by the way, the idea of circumcision was popularized when the church wanted to curb sexual appetites in boys. Why? Because it cuts out a large bundle of nerve endings.
Many of our common reasons to be circumcised were born from that campaign.
I did it
And it just looks better.
But a lot of guys have said they wish they still had theirs
My son had to be done around a year old for an infection (yes we were pulling the skin back and cleaning him every diaper change) that we tried multiple medications one and he had a urologist at the children’s hospital who after about 3 months of nothing working suggested we do it. So we did and he didnt have any issues after that. I also had 2 cousins that had it done at 5 because the skin began to close and that was horrible. My second I dont plan on it like I didnt plan with my oldest. Their father is not and I dont see a need unless medicaly necessary like my oldest.

Brit living in the USA here, it’s hard, but stay strong! You are 100% doing the right thing for your son! It’s hard living out here having to explain to Drs and Nurses not to touch my son down there and get “the look” when they see he’s intact, it just makes me realize even more that I made the right decision. Americans will catch on soon, a lot of them are! They will see that it is not necessary for little boys to have part of their penis cut off
Because it just looks better - an uncircumcised penis is one of the ugliest things I have ever seen. But he is your child so do what is best for you and your family 
My son is intact and he is fine. Clean it like you would a finger (do not pull the for skin back it is attached when they are little and will hurt him) as he gets older the skin will naturally retract. Just keep him clean and he will be fine
We never did that to our son. It is not medically necessary. He is 21 and fine.

After speaking to more of our male (and female) friends and family than I ever thought I would about their penises I’m proud to say we did not cut our son. None of them or their partners had any complaints about being kept whole. It’s cosmetic surgery and I could never put my son through that. Look up the facts about it and see for yourself.
