Today's the day my son gets circumcised. As the time draws closer I'm getting more and more nervous.…

Mine did yesterday morning! It's already looking better.:) he was fussy yesterday and slept the entire day afterwards but today he is better

for the best? why?

@anim, how old is your son? What's the aftercare on it ?

@b3autifulm3ss, prevents them from infection later the foreskin harbors bacteria

I hope you have done your research... I won't get into it but there is no medical reason why boys need their foreskin removed... if you teach your son good hygiene they will (more than likely) never have a problem because they have their foreskin.... I have two sons (one cut, father's choice and one not)

I'm not trying to bash at all, sorry if it seem like I am. I just wanted to make sure it's YOUR choice to do this, not just because "it's the thing to do" and people told you that you should do it... 😊

I understand why you decided to do it. I had my son's circumcised and I'm so glad I did. Even though I've taught him good hygiene, boys will be boys and they aren't as hygienic as girls are.

He is three days old today. He was born on Tuesday. Basically not to touch it and if we must then clean it with a cloth

It really wasn't bad at all though. It took about 15 minutes and after they are circumcised they usually go through a sleeping period so he ended up sleeping mostly all day. Then he was just a bit fussy the next day but I'm surprised at how little he cares about it and by how fast it's healing. You just have to make sure to keep around the area clean of course

@b3autifulm3ss, it is my choice.

@anim, did they tell you to put Vaseline on the or is it on he diaper?

Yeah just the diaper he said it doesn't need Vaseline or anything and the only time we needed to touch it is if we absolutely needed to clean it

Yah that's what I figured. @anim
