Guys just saying real quick DO NOT touch your child’s foreskin at all. I didn’t know this was something people even did but now I know y’all are doing this to your newborns. I know this isn’t common knowledge to all so guys, genitals are self cleaning, foreskin is supposed to be there it’s for protection. Poo does not get in there and if it does under no circumstances do u need to pull anything back thats extremely damaging u don’t need to mess with their bits like that. If poo does get it will NOT be a concerning amount and it’ll be out by the time they are next changed because they are self cleaning. Foreskin is supposed to come back naturally. When your child is of age teaching them to properly clean under their foreskin should under no circumstances involve pulling it completely back. Think about if it was a little girl because it’s the exact same thing your not gonna dig anything out so u should not be pulling anything back. I’m not judging I’m genuinely in shock that this happens and no doctors thought to tell u how damaging this is.
Addressed to that stank bitch:
And to that one nasty ass female… talking about how your child was in so much pain he passed out screaming u need checked. Circumcising your child is not a flex that skin is for protection. Now at the end of the day u do u if u want it done then fine but flexing on it just shows another level of ignorance I can’t wait for the day u greasy ass gets the day u deserve cause babyyy u gone never forget it!

It is mad that doctors/midwives don't mention this. I read it on here about how to clean them properly. I asked my doctor about it and it seemed like he'd never been asked about it before and didn't really give a clear answer.
But yes there's no need to mess around with the foreskin.

Are people actually pulling the skin to clean it 😦wth

Yeah it's sad how many don't know. Ladies we can't be mad at men for not knowing our biology if we don't know theirs either! My husband isn't circd though and he taught me that about babes before we ever had kids.

Your boys are going to be madddd at y'all when they become sexually active even if they don't tell you 😂😂😂

Literally nobody is 'flexing' about having their child circumcised. Tf? Mind your own business.
Your child is one years old pulling back foreskin is like popping their cherry it’s not something a mother should be doing y’all need Jesus
I’m sorry if u read it was targeted at someone baby if it don’t apply let it fly don’t get defensive over here no one’s judging u know what’s best for your child u do u baby have fun your children are beautiful!

That doesn't make sense but OK we are all entitled to our own opinions. That's why my child is mine and your child is yours.
no but baby don’t pull your child’s foreskin back that’s actually not good for them at all I didn’t just come up with that it’s not like a “my child my choice “ kinda thing it’s actually dangerous it’s supposed to happen naturally it’s attached to their skin that’s what causes them to get dirty inside they can get infections I don’t want an argument with u just want to say cause it’s not good for them u don’t need to do all that hunny all that aside your family is beautiful and I’m sure your all health it’s just like a big medical no no

Thanks for the opinion, but in my case that is not correct. if you think it is unsafe, that's fine but I have a different opinion

Honestly it’s reaallly hard for anyone to be swayed when someone posting anything about circumcision laces their words with hatred, bitterness, and disdain for anyone who does not think like they do. Please be mindful of the words you choose and how those words can impact another mother. Peanut shouldn’t be a place to attack one another. We’re all vulnerable, and we’re all just trying to figure out what’s best for our babies.
I was only coming for one mother who has said some disgusting things about her child the hate was targeted I have no issue with circumcison u know your child u do u at the end of the day u are mama u know best but I got heated by one specific person ❤️❤️

Both of my boys are circumcised actually but I'm not flexing about it. It's not something I bring up in normal everyday conversation just to talk about. And I definitely don't make public posts about other people's children's penises either.
I’ve been informed it’s unsafe by doctors I’ve done the research I understand that there are health reasons its just if their is no heath reason then that’s not something that should be happening❤️❤️ it’s not an opinion hun but your child will live I’m not coming for anyone just saying it’s not something that’s needed unless their are health reasons because it can cause damage

I will accept the compliment that my children are beautiful though thank you
babe I wasn’t talking about circumcision I’m talking about uncircumcised children having that skin pulled back by anyone that is not a doctor

My bad I'm getting confused with all the incognitos. ❤️
I was talking about pulling back foreskin babe so this doesn’t apply to u u don’t need to worry about this ❤️

Your post says 'circumcising your child is not a flex that skin is for protection. Now at the end of the day u do u if u want it done then fine but forcing on it just shows another level of ignorance...."
holly read above it’s says it’s addressed to someone that someone ain’t u none cares about your decision this post was for mothers with uncircumcised children and that one person neither are u so u can move on
I think I just seen the post u confused me with and I’m actually sorry people act like that cause absolutely not it’s none of my business what you do for your child u know best for them point blank period mama ❤️

Well that someone doesn't seem to be in this comment section so what are you even talking about then?? 🙄
and holly that’s none of your business now is it I have no issue with circumcision u are mana u know what’s best I have an issue with a certain someone holly please calm down no one over here was coming for u if it don’t apply let it fly I beg

You posted it publicly which made it literally everyone's business.
holly hun u misunderstood what the post was about that's ok u can just acknowledge that and move on the bottom was not relevant to u they know who they are they know they seen it that's that and it's between me and them something being online doesn't make it your business it's only your business if it's relevant to u and this is not your mad cause u thought I was talking about circumcision and I wasn't so we can move on now ye 👍 have a blessed day

Judging other moms is not a flex either, but here we are...

In my view, circumcision is genital mutilation. Also in Australia they don’t give babies painkillers for that procedure so that is another level of f*d up.
I judged 1 mother the whole top part is just health and safety it’s not ok and people don’t know that pointing out that something u may have done is dangerous is not judging its just human decency telling people what they need to know when they most likely won’t be told by doctors unless asked pulling back foreskin is dangerous full stop. Now if it’s circumcision your mad at I beg just read the comments and move on I had an issue with 1 person u know it’s not u so don’t get mad being a mother doesn’t automatically mean no one can make a judgment on the things u as a grown person choose to do and say 🤞✌️

Are you feeling attacked? Why do you think I'm mad? I frankly don't care, but you judge mothers from the start to the finish. You're judging their decision. Whether you do it or not, is up to the parent to decide, but this whole post is funny...
Anyway... point still stands. Good luck 🖤

Lmao. Again, where am I mad? I don't care about weirdos on here who are strangely concerned about other ppl children's genitals. I'm just letting you know how weird you are for judging other parents and worrying so hard about what people do to their kids.
Also, love... if you thought it was about "poo" getting in there like who do you think will listen? Ppl will blank out when you show how you are not educated on the subject... but hey, do you...
Bye 💙💙💙🖤
not being concerned that people are touching and fiddling way more than needs be is very concerning and if u don’t think so idk bout u bae we need to be concerned for every child or things like this won’t change pulling that skin back is what causes shit to get in there it causes infections so on im only saying this cause I spoke to my doctor after seeing a post on here talking about it I educated myself u sat lost tranna find something to be pressed about if u don’t know it’s dangerous u have no right telling me I’m uninformed because that’s slow energy if u still delusional thinking anyone was pressed about circumcision then learn to read cause this post was for one person and the rest are mothers of uncircumcised children because u should not be messing with their bits your lack of understanding and feeling towards the health and safety of children especially when it’s to do with their genitalia which should not be messed with my whole point was don’t touch it
and the fact that u are tranna push a narrative that im weird for talking about genitals… but I’m genuinely just concerned about the amount of people who are doing this and genuinely harming their children unknowingly health and safety can’t be kept quiet because u don’t wanna hear it facts can be hidden because it upsets u and u feel triggered or attacked your being sour because I care about the well-being of children and stop tranna say u not mad cause u would not be on all that of u weren’t if u don’t know then that’s ok now ya do but don’t be mad when it’s genuinely just truth

Okay doctor incognito. Did I mention circumcision? I said you are oddly concerned and judgemental about other ppl and their kids. I won't repeat that again 😅
You left the comment section of another post bc you can't say things like this w your profile attached which is also weird and cowardly. Shows how triggered you were/are & I love to see it. 😭
Girl enjoy your day. Do some yoga, drink some water, get some sun, and relax in a salt bath to cleanse your mind. Don't let ppl get to you like that sis bc it's never that serious. Just make sure your babies are clean and safe.
no babe I did this because I’m not delusional I realise some women are mean mother or not and I’m not having my child dragged because someone’s pressed at something they really shouldn’t be pressed if u don’t care but noone but your own that’s u but I have care and concern for every child and this app is for giving information that others may not have if u took it as a judgment thats u that’s genuinely ONLY u and it’s telling but hay ho I wasn’t judging I’m just mad that doctors don’t tell u these things unless asked because I see that it’s not something most would ask it’s not odd to be concerned about other peoples children if that was the case a lot more children would be gone let’s not push that and let’s definitely not make it normal to not shed concern about every and all children because they all deserve the best in life and a lot don’t get it let’s not fake that every child is ok and that every mother on here is a good bad people do exist
what exactly do u mean obviously as grown adults u can handle more than a baby pulling back the foreskin is the equivalent to popping their cherry it’s not something that needs to be done by u it happens naturally or it happens when they become sexually active and even if it happens naturally as they get a little older still is not supposed to be touched by u if something looks wrong don’t play doctor actually phone one
