go with your gut, mama! I also did a lot of research about it. my husband and I agreed not to if we have a son. none of the men in his family were circumcised. the part that got me was the fact that circumcised males don't experience sexual pleasure like uncircumcised males do. my own step father at 50 years old is upset with his parents for choosing to circumcise him.

babies can feel too obviously! I wouldn't do it for a million $! it's natural to be there and around 2 you just show them how to pull it back to clean it in the shower etc. it's not a necessary surgery so y do it? I don't understand y people even do myself. Its a religion and race thing to the people. Its a cosmetic procedure and the skin is there for a reason otherwise wouldn't be there to begin with. but that's my opinion. no one in my family has been neither my son or this baby boy will have it done. no reason to.

It really isn't that bad. When they brought my son back to me he wasn't even crying, and he only cried when I changed his diaper twice, then the bleeding stopped and he was fine.

From what I've been told, being only A day or two old, they don't really feel pain like we do. I was so nervous when they took my son to do it, and I bawled my eyes out. But he was asleep and content as could be when I got him back. They said be careful changing his diaper because he'd probably cry the first day and he never did. It's like it didn't bother him at all. Every baby's different so I can't say it'd go as smoothly for you but don't feel pressured to do something if your not comfortable with it, now.

We did it. It wasn't that bad in the moment but he wasn't so happy later on when it was time to pee. The first couple of pees were bad and then by the next day he was fine. Don't think about the now, think about the long term.
