@justine_kim, That is kind of crazy, but I have heard of moms having to do that. As well as, men doing it once they were older.

my baby is 3 weeks old now and I decided to get him circumcised and it's so much better now then it was when he wasn't. I just felt so wrong to pull his skin back and clean it and all of that. my personal opinion I would recommend it, when it came down to the day to do it and all of that I didn't wanna do it because I didn't want him to be in pain. but he's been fine! no pain or anything from what I can tell, you just have to put Neosporin or Vaseline on it afterwards for a few days and I could tell that would kinda bother him. but during the process the doctor said he fell asleep so I know he didn't feel any pain and it made me feel better.

@kejs0911 this sounds crazy but my mom had both of my brothers circumsized in the 4th and 5th grade lmao it was done in the Philippines and she said they couldn't walk right for a few days and were crying from their pants running against their skin but theyre both snipped now and they remember becoming a man. lol i told my mom it was pretty cruel waiting that long but i think she was having issues with them as well so she went ahead and did it when they were about 8 and the other was 9...(also we graduate school 2 years early in the P.I. so thats why they were so young for their grade level)

@kingdamari, I just wanted to say I'm sorry. I misread your last comment. I'm glad that your baby's daddy is so set on getting your son circumsized even though he isnt. It really shows that he's probably had issues and wants the best for baby. I know even for myself I felt scared about having it done. But after seeing so many boys in my family have it done, it's really not as terrible as I had thought. I regret not doing it for my boys and saving them a lot of hassle and health issues. :/

@kingdamari, I recommend the ring when you get him circumcised if you have the option. they used it with both my boys and they will with baby j since it's the same Dr and that's what I asked for this time. It's so easy to care for no cream or gauze just simply clean it good with a baby wipe every change until it comes off. They didn't use the ring on my nephew and it was a mess using cream and gauze every time you changed him.

Thanks ladies for all the opinions on the matter I have read a lot on this subject. Then we found out we were having a boy I told my husband I also wanted him to do some research and he has not read anything @soontobmommyof4 @taylay @ashleyandadan @kejs0911

I've been debating as well @kingdamari but my husband isn't and definitely wants our son to be and I figured since he's a guy he has more reasons than I will ever understand on why he wants him to be 👍🏼💙 but it is definitely your choice

We had Vinnie circumcised and it was fine. He didn't even cry when they did it, and he went to sleep after they put his diaper back on. We haven't had any issues with healing either.

@kingdamari, I mean. It's definitely your choice. I just personally would cut the next one I have. :/

@kingdamari, yes the same situation I was in. I really felt, we'll he's dad so it's his choice too. But honestly I wished I would've disagreed with my ex. My son probably would've had less infections and it would be easier for them to keep clean as they get older. My thought now is my kids have to go through all these things, not me. Being circumcised really limits any problems your son will have later on in life.

@kejs0911, that's crazy and scary my baby daddy isn't circumsized so I guess that's why he is so dead on getting our son done

@kingdamari, I'm also with a guy who is circumsized. Comparing the ex to this one. I wished I would've circumsized my boys. It becomes harder for guys to stay clean as adults. It's not impossible, just harder.

@kingdamari, I'm a mom of 2 boys who are NOT circumcised. I would actually suggest getting baby circumsized. I chose not to with my boys because their dad wasn't and didn't want them to be. I read up on the pros and cons of it, etc. It's not hard to clean when they are little cuz their skin is still attached to the head. Which didn't make sense to me why that was brought up as an issue so much. But here's my problems with it now. I have 5 and 7yr olds. Dad is not around any more and hasn't been since my 5yr was 7mon. My 7yr skin detached from the head at 5 and trying to teach him how to keep his area clean at that point has been really hard. 2yrs and this guy still doesn't do it right. Now the worst, my 5yrs hasn't detached at all, yet he has had 2 yeast infections. He showers all the time and I make sure they clean their area, yet he has still had a yeast infection. My concern is that he will have many more issues as he gets older and I fear for him. So I have a 1 out of 2 that have had issues. I won't be surprised when my oldest does as he doesn't clean it correctly. To be honest, this time if it were going to be a boy I was going to circumsize. I don't care about the dad's view and the pain is so temporary for that moment.

I don't have a choice in the matter baby's father isn't having it he gets so mad when I say I don't want to put him through it but it will definitely be done just not too sure how to really feel about it @cnew12 @soontobmommyof4 @taylay @

I'm currently pregnant with my first and he's a boy and I'm getting him circumcised just because it's easier when there little and I have a nephew that keeps getting infections because he forgets to clean the fore skin and he's 8 years old that's why I'm getting my son circumcised

They will ask you at the hospital when you're there to deliver @cnew12

Speaking of this subject, I plan to have my son done as well but when do you let them know? Is it something you put in a birth plan or just make sure the dr notes it? @taylay @soontobmommyof4

The way I look at it is ... My son will be circumcised, everyone's main complaint is the pain they have to put the baby through.. But the pain is only temporary, I can't find one man in this world that can tell me they are traumatized by getting it done, because you don't have a memory at such a young age. I posted about it on here and everyone jumped down my throat, but I just thought I'd share my opinion , and my decision.. At the end of the day, you as a mother, know what's best for your baby, so do what you feel is right either way ☺️

I'm currently pregnant with our 3rd boy and he will be circumcised. Our other 2 were also. it's a lot easier to take care of and honestly baby hardly notices after the initial cut.
