It’s totally normal to not circumcise, that is how boys are born. Most boys born in America are not even circumcised anymore. The rates have dropped. My husband is not circumcise, and neither is my son. None of them have ever had problems. Both are well aware of how to wash their penis. My husband said keeping his teeth clean is harder than his penis LOL join the group your whole baby for more support. You’re making the best decision for your son

I worked in a day care with toddlers 90% of them weren't circumcised so definitely go with what your most comfortable with , I personally had my son's done he was fine, it wasn't cheap either I think that's another reason why parents decide to not go with it

Wow... Both my sons are not circumcised and my mom never had a problem changing them. Your mom shouldnt be that way being the grandma.

Sounds like a control thing. Like she wants to manipulate you into actually circumcising him, which is a shxtty thing to do. Grandma you have one job and one job only smh and making parenting decisions without being asked isnt one of them. Hang in there girly. I hope she lightens up once your son is here.

U said it 🗣education education 👏🏼

Do what you feel is best for your child. Unfortunately, many people have outdated false notions about why boys should be circumcised. It’s your choice. If she doesn’t want to help care for her grandson, that’s her choice.

Honestly, ignore her. Don't let anyone else sway your decision. If she brings it up just tell her you aren't comfortable talking about your son's penis with anyone and it's inappropriate.

Why is she worried about your child’s penis. That’s none of her concern. If she is that worried about a penis of a child that isn’t her son, something is wrong with her and she doesn’t need to be seeing your sons penis anyway.

Most people circumcise for health reasons. Boys often go through a stage of not cleaning themselfs, it can lead to UTI's and other gross infections and nastiness, aswell as needing to properly teach them what to do and how often. Alot of people choose to not circ for sexual reasons, and some chose not to just so their kid is "whole". As a mom of two boys who are both circumcised, I can say that doing it at birth certainly doesnt traumatize them for life. Its stressful and painful for the first hour maybe, yes, but by the end of the first day they're totally fine as If nothing ever happened, and most of the horror stories you hear dont actually happen as often as its portrayed online.

Defenately dont let other people or family try to push you into one decision or the other, no one should be concerned about your child's genitals but you. If you havent already, it would be super helpful to talk to a doctor or your OB about it if you arent fully decided yet. Good luck mama!

That’s ridiculous. She should not be so concerned over an infant’s genitals.
