Circumcision

My husband is but we decided not to bother with our son.

He’s 18m now and not had a single issue and he’s actually been easier to clean than my daughter was. If we have another boy we wouldn’t circumcise him either.

My father went to UK for a couple years and knew a family who had health problems with not doing circumcision, why he knew this, is even beyond him. I know there is a lot of split opinion especially international outside of the US.

We decided not to circumcise and are happy with our choice! It is medically unnecessary, irreversible, and comes with more risks than leaving him intact. :)

We didn't do it to our son. I didn't want him in pain for the first weeks of his life for a procedure that isn't necessary. He's two and no problems.

We had my son circumcised and the hospital fucked up, which led to him having to be re-circumcised when he was one. Would not recommend after our experience.

We decided not to after lots of research. It’s not needed and as long as your child is kept clean and taught how to clean themselves it’s fine . I haven’t heard anyone who hasn’t done it have an issue

We decided to circumcise our son and the procedure was done in 10-15mins went great. They were going to keep him for an hour but he got hungry so he came back to mama in the room for observation. We were definitely nervous going into it and the first day or two but we were taught how to keep it clean and it healed in a week and he’s doing great so glad we chose to. Easy to clean; healed perfectly fine! Definitely recommend.

I would leave that up to your son when he’s older.. I think it’s such a personal choice and something he will have to live with. I know you can’t even compare the two, but I only pierced my ears when I was at university. My parents never pierced it when I was a child and left it for me to make that decision as an adult.
