| are you in the US? if so it is pretty common practice. It is a simple procedure and the baby heals from it quickly. Of course there are no real reasons that a boy needs to be circumsised, but he may feek sekf concious later in life being different in that area. I would say if you are not dead set aganist the get it done it is much easier to have it done when they are babies then for them to get older and have it done them selves. I know a few people are are not and wish that their parents would have had it done, but I don not know anyonw who is and sits around wishing to have their fore skin back. ↑ |

Im in australia, i want to get my son done ( he is 8 days old ) But they way he has reacted when he got all his shots ( vitimin K , hep b and the Prick test ) I'm not so sure i want to put him through the pain.
He reacted really bad to those needles..i dont think i would be able to do it.
They give a general to numb the pain - thats about 4 seconds of pain for the baby, then they snip it. No pain afterwards. Or atleast thats the what the doctors say. ↑ |

| I got my son done and they took him and numbed the area and he cried for maybe 2mins then he was fine. It never hurt him afterwards. ↑ |

I left the decsion up to my husband, and he wants to get it done.
I think we have to pay $125.00 to get it done , they do it right after they are born in the hosptial. ↑ |

| My son is 18 days old and I got him done when he was less than 24 hours old. I had a c section so I was in the hospital for 3 days and the pediatrician cam and did it. They put a ring around it and that fell off a few days later. It was a little swollen but we just kept putting petroleum jelly on the front of his diaper and it did not seem to bother him at all. He only cried when they held him down. ↑ |

So Randi, when he peed and when you cleaned him he was o.k? Not to fussy.
Did you have to pay for it? ↑ |
| Name: Randi | Date: Dec 30th, 2006 9:05 PM |
I paid $55 for it. He screams anyway when you change him, but he didn't seem to cry out in pain when I wiped it. I was just gentle and made sure to put the cream on it so it didn't get stuck to his diaper. Oh and there are pictures in my journal... I'm not sure when you looked last Connie.

That is allot cheaper then here in Calgary.
You little man is growing so fast, I he really looks like both you and Tyler wow. Soooo cute, I cant wait to see my little man too. ↑ |

We would have had to pay a $75 doctors fee as well, but because I was an inpatient they only charged us for the procedure so it ended up being way cheaper.
As for Kaden, he is growing so fast!! He is wearing 3 month clothes now. I have had to pack up all my newborn and 0/3 already. He is eating almost hourly for the past 2 days. I guess he is going through a growth spurt. I can't believe that Xavier will be here soon! How are you feeling? ↑ |

with dillon, my OB took him the evening after I had him to circumsise him, he brough him back less than 10 minutes later feshly diapered and sound to sleep.
We used vaseline at every diaper change and withing a week and a half it was completley healed :) ↑ |

| Well question # one its the father?, if its a boy and when hes little and he and daddy are in the shower, he might have questions about why his looks different. lol, and most people in the us do because is more saniatary... but its really all about preferance, but as far as i know the baby is not really in any pain they numb the skin its quick and easy, done in jsut a few minutes ↑ |

| my husband hasn't been circumcised so he relly feels that we shouldn't do that to the baby but im not sure either way.. his brother got it done when he was little because he got an infection.... so would it be better if i get it done now or should i just wait for him to decide when he gets older????? because what if i get it done now and when he gets older he didn't want it???? ↑ |

| When they are older it is very painful, I had a friend in his twenties get it done and he was in tons of pain, so younger the better-if you are getting it done. ↑ |

| i have never heard of a man complaining that he was circumsized, but i do know a few guys that are imbarrased about not being, and wish that they were, but didnt want to go through with the pain. i also read an article that said it is more pleasureable for a man during intercourse if it is done ↑ |
| Name: Double_K | Date: Dec 31st, 2006 10:55 PM |
| I've heard the opposite---the skin they remove are suppose to be full of nerves that makes sex more pleasurable. I think the main cons are keeping it clean/not getting infected and just society views....in any case I left it up to my hubby and he is all for the circumcision..... ↑ |
| Name: connie | Date: Dec 31st, 2006 11:14 PM |
my friend wasn't circumcised, he married a jewish women and needed to get circumcised to get married.
So I heard he also ripped the stiches the very next morning-you know how some men wake up in all there glory-ripppppp that is what happend to him. ↑ |

| My husband has no complaints with his circumcision and nor do I. OUr son was done and he cryed less then when he got his needles..Its not like they used to do it in the old days though, they use a ring now Not sissors and our little fella didnt bleed or anything, a week later the ring came off and his doodle looked fine!I have never heard a man complain about being done and most men hubbys age were done becasue it was the 70s and it was just done then.. ↑ |

| From what I understand (heard a Rabbi's comment on a babystory) The penis doesn't have nerve endings yet so the circumsion doesn't hurt. They cry because they are mad. I actually saw a documentary on this subject not too long ago and there were a hand full of both circumcised and non circumcised and three of the four non had actually either attemped or thought about attempting to do it themselves in their teen years. When boys are old enough to shower at school they really become aware of differences and boys can be cruel. I have two boys who are circumcised and the baby due in march will be too. Maybe if you know some of the women having boys who will some day be classmates of your sons' you could ask them if they had their boys' done. But ultimately this is a personal decision. ↑ |

| I'm Jewish, so if we have a boy there's no question about whether or not to have it done. For me the issue is - do I do it in the hospital, or do I wait the 8 days to have a traditional bris? I think I'd rather get it done and over with in the hospital so that if I have questions about how to care for it, the nurses are there to help. Plus it sounds like they give the baby stuff to make him more comfortable. At a bris, they put the baby on a bed of ice and let him suck a little red wine - another thing I don't like. Of course, I don't even know if I'm having a boy!!! ↑ |

| I am usually in the SAHM forum but when my son was born I had him circumcised because of family beliefs ..you don't have to get your child circumcised he can actully get circumcised later down the road if you want ..you always have that option....rememeber that in a non-circumcised male that cleaning is a little different but other than that do what is right for you and your child ↑ |
