I didn't circumcise my son..I didn't want him going through the the pain without the procedure being needed ..he's now 2 years old with no problems.
& my husband really wants him to get one. There's alot of ppl with different opinions on it just ignore all the negative lol😉
@katwillbrand, that's your doctors opinion. I'm not doing it for a look. AGAIN, no one is going to be looking at MY child's penis other than mommy, daddy, and Doctor. but thank you
@vanessarazo, my doctor told me that it was mainly for the looks lol.. Well as the other ladies said on here before its your decision my opinion is just to help you out, but you know what's best for your son :)
@cecey0912, yes of course t has pros and cons. we are all entitled to our own opinion. some people don't understand that lol
@clothdiapermomma, who said it was for looks? who's even thinking about looks for a baby? no ones going to be seeing his private area other than his parents and his doctor. so please don't try and talk about doing this for LOOKS cus I could careless for a look on my child's penis
I didn't circumcised my son..But I experienced the struggle of seeing him in pain when he got an infection. I thought it was a rash around his private area but as days went by it wouldn't go away till he couldn't pee out. It was hurtful to see him suffer as a mom but with medical attention & treatment it went away. They just gave me a few tips on how to clean him since I wasn't pulling his skin back to rinse him with warm water bcux i was scared on doing that to him. I used to clean my son with wipes since pee does get dry on their diaper and would just keep his private area in warm water but they told me I should just pull back his skin so the warm water can hit him under there too. I don't think it has to do how you clean them I think it just happens & we learn how to be precaucious. There's pros and cons in every way.
@royalty, thank you Hun. I'm going to do it, I'm just not going to be the one to take him my hubby is going to take him
I had this conversation with my SO before we found out the gender I let him decided and he was against it
@clothdiapermomma, right, obviously they are holding a picture of them when they are small. how would they consent. at the end of the day, he's my child and I'm the parent. if I feel like I want to circumcise him, then I will. my hubby is circumcised and he isn't over here saying he didn't want to be. I know people who did it at the age of 13 / 14 years old. how much more painful is that. it takes longer to cure than it would on a baby. babies heal way faster .
@vanessarazo, it's up to each individual. (: it's your baby and your not wrong or right whether it's done or it's not (:
@clothdiapermomma, I work at a daycare and everyone here is circumcised except my son... Everyone is like Kat circumcise him because that's weird I'm like NOT happening & like you said I do believe in that they should decide what to do with their body.. Not gonna put my kid through that just because everyone else is.. When we asked our doctor if it really had any benefit to it she said "no mainly just for the looks" my son will learn to take care of his thingy lol
@clothdiapermomma, it was. I talked to the doctor. His mom wasn't making sure it was clean. And it wasn't a uti it. Was a yeast infection (: after that I told his mom she needed to clean it better. After a couple weeks of an ointment it cleared up !(: and all is well again.
@royalty, there's a lot of good and bad things about it. I want to do it for all the bad reasons but ugh I wouldn't want to hear my baby cry in pain
@vanessarazo, looks like I'm the only one for it! Lol and that's fine, do what you think is right mama. Im not here to try and change your mind or tell you that doing it is better than not doing it just bc its my opinion. My son reacted totally fine to it. He healed in a week and never has had infection or anything. I'm glad I did it and like I said, if I have more boys I will be doing it again!
@clothdiapermomma, right. regardless I wouldn't be asking my son at five years old if he wants to be circumcised. he's not going to know what that is. and at the age that he will and if he would decide he does want to it would hurt him way more than, then it would if he got it done at a young age
My step son isn't circumcised and when he was in diapers he got an infection because he isn't circumcised. Poor guy didn't want to pee because it hurt (no it wasn't a uti) It was a yeast infection. He's potty trained and now my fiancé is teaching him how to pull the foreskin back as my fiancé isn't circumcised. If we had a son he would be circumcised though
If/when I have a son I will not be doing it. It is not medically necessary, and as long as you practice good hygiene there are no true benefits. Female circumcision is illegal so why should we strap down our sons and cut their penises?
@clothdiapermomma, I wouldn't do it on my child at 5 years old. if I decide to do it it would be within months. not years
If I have a son I will not circumcise. My boyfriend isn't circumcised and has never had any issues with it. It actually leaves more nerves in the tip so sexual things feel better if they aren't circumcised
I didn't do it, I read about some boys having problems in the future because of it plus I didn't want to put my kid through the pain. I'm not against i just decided not too :)
@bishop0301 I watched a video too and i wouldn't be able to be the one to take him my hubby wants to he can take him. it looks so painful I wanted to cry just watching the video
I couldn't do it after watching a video of how they do it 😕
@alexislopez, I want to do it , it looks so painful tho. we're you there in the room when he got it done? I don't think I would be able to be there. it'll hurt me 😐
@clothdiapermomma see I want to do it cus it has its benefits. when he is older less chances of infections, it's cleaner... but I don't think I can put my baby through that.. it looks so painful and hurts me just watching a video of someone else's baby getting it done
I did with my son and if I have more boys, I will do it again.
I did it to mines...everyone is gonna tell u their opinion and it honestly doesn't matter lol. Do what u wanna do with your child. My BF isn't circumcised and he's had issues and he went to get our son done...
