Did you circumcised your baby boy ?

He was circumcised and we got discharged the same day. It's healing well. I just have to make sure it stays moist with ointment until it heals completely. I was told it takes about 7-10 days to heal completely.

My son was circumcised two weeks ago, it took about a week to heal completely (7days). I recommend applying aquaphor after every diaper change. I also cleaned it with lukewarm water and a rag. I just gently tapped it to clean after a diaper change and then applied a very good amount of aquaphor.

I would recommend stepping out of the room during the procedure, for momma’s sake. I cried a bit too much 🤭

My son was circumcised, and I was present for the procedure. Honestly, he didn’t seem to feel anything at all; he slept through the entire process. The healing was very straightforward, and we didn’t experience any issues.

I circumcised my son a week ago now (left the same day) it was a quick procedure but they did kept him in the nursery for a total of a hour just to make sure everything was okay. When we got him back he was sleeping and he was okay, as long as you keep Vaseline on either the tip or the diaper where the tip rest it’s normally a quick and easy healing process, my sons looks like it’s pretty much healed but to be sure we are still putting the Vaseline on his diaper every time we change it as to make sure we don’t cause him discomfort. My older sister who has 2 boys also circumcised her sons and it was a quick healing process. As long as you keep up with the diaper changes and don’t forget the Vaseline everything is normally okay. I understand the worry and when I first changed him after I felt bad as I didn’t know it would look the way it did when it happened but I’m sure my son would think me in the future that I did it.

Is takes about a week. My son hated being changed and would pee while being changed until it healed. Keep Vaseline on it to keep it moist just dont overdo it as it will cause the diaper to not absorb properly (learned that one the hard way)

i’ll be the odd one out here and say I didn’t circumcise my son! i didn’t want to put him through that because they do feel the pain and the healing has to be uncomfortable for them even if it doesn’t seem like it. to each their own but most of the world doesn’t circumcise and i believe the foreskin serves a great purpose and it’s there for a reason! if you don’t want to then trust your gut, there’s nothing wrong with not doing it !

Got my circumcised at 3 months, cried the first day and was great the rest. Just made sure you stock up on Vaseline. The earlier you get it done for them the quicker the process. I wish I had done it in the first month.

My baby was circumcised the next day after he was born and we got discharged the day after that. The healing wasn't so hard. The nurses was showing us how to care for it. They gave us some vaseline to put it every diaper change.

Im so happy to see at least one other mom make the choice I plan to do!

This showed up on my feed and since it’s relatable I wanted to comment. My son isn’t circumcised 🙂. Please reach out if you have any questions!

they numb that area . As far as a healing process all we needed was to put a bit of vasoline in his diaper for the next 7-10 days .

My son was circumcised at 4 weeks . His dad told me off by not doing it sooner although it was insensitive his comment it made sense because they do feel it . I didn’t go in the room only one parent was allowed . So his dad took him in. He said that when he cut the foreskin off in the procedure he was fine it was my son being strapped to the table he didn’t like at all. I felt bad my son was screaming anyway I’m waffling , for me it was abit stressful but had to be done and I wish I had done it the week or three days after he was born . Healing process the bandage looked worst than what it was . I followed the rabis instructions and made sure not to wet the area at all during the process that the bandage would fall off naturally and it did . I applied a lot of Vaseline after every change and sudocream is an antiseptic so is very important if u decide to soak him in water after the recommended days . Hope that helps.

Absolutely did not. It’s considered a cosmetic procedure. I would never alter my daughter for cosmetic reasons so I wasn’t about to do that to my little boy. He’s 3.5 now and is perfect in every way. No issues at all! The documentary elephant in the hospital was so informative and is what helped us decide what we did.

I also want to add that the skin down there is fused to his glanis, just like a finger nail. They have to used a tool to separate it, like ripping off your finger nail from the underside. My heart just couldn’t handle doing that to my baby for no reason.

I got my boy circumcised. It took a little less than a week and really didn't bother him much. He was very irritable the first 2 days after. My hospital said feeding is going to be for comfort and pain.

I haven’t but I’m considering it but then again I’m also not because it doesn’t seem like the skin pulls all the way back to open. He doesn’t seem to have had any issues with it or any infections but I think I’m going to bring it up to his doctor to make sure he’s not going to have any issues going forward

I witnessed a circumcision in the hospital as a nursing student and said “Oh hell no” if I ever have a boy. There is a reason parents are not allowed to be there. Plus why do it if there is no need for it?

Definitely not something I'd do to my boys! Just as I wouldn't do it to my girls! It's unethical and unnecessary unless for medical reasons.

Yes, within the first 2 weeks, he cried on the initial breast fed and it healed super quick. He’s 12 now no issues
