Circumsision

Then don’t circumcise him… The older he is, the more it’ll hurt him. I know everyone has different opinions on it but with proper hygiene he’ll be okay. If you have any concerns talk to his doctor about it.

It’s not necessary to circumcise your baby. It’s a choice and everyone has their own opinion but you aren’t going to hurt him by not getting it done.

Maybe see if you can go to a place that might be able to help finance it? Pay off in chunks

@Jasmin @Emily I want to get it done for him and he’ll thank me in the future so I was just looking for people who had got it done late

@Taniya that’s a great idea thank you I’ll look into that

I suggest checking yourwholebaby.org

My son got his done at 2 weeks the younger the better

Like I said it’s a choice and everyone has their own opinions- don’t be so naive to think “he will thank me in the future” you are mutilating his body, I had a friend whose mom was a nurse and she decided to get it done for him, he actually cried to me saying he couldn’t believe his mom could do that to him and was actually very upset with her that she did. There’s pros and cons to both.

@Emily that’s good to know

It can be done at any point in life. You should ask your pediatrician/hospital if they have financial assistance and what the estimated cost would be after adjusting

honestly my son is getting circumcised next month and he’ll be 6 months it’s not necessarily too late but it is better to get it as early as possible

Don’t circumcise a baby that doesn’t medically need it. They’re not going to thank you for it if it goes wrong and ruins the nerves in their penis. It could also get infected and make them very sick as they heal. My partner was circumcised well into our relationship and while was medically necessary, the healing process was traumatic and painful. He could vocalise his pain, a child can’t.

@Jas <3 thank you I just needed advice on if I’m messing up doing it late I was really high during birth due to being put to sleep and was not able to ask any questions or even mention circumsision

my sons penis is abnormal so i couldn’t get it done at the hospital is why i had to wait to get booked with a specialist an hour away from me even though i hate waiting as long i don’t think it’s a bad decision do what you feel is best and you’re not awful for waiting <3

@Cass the healing process is difficult as an adult yes. That’s why it’s done while they’re babies. Had my son circumcised literally just had to put Vaseline on it for a few days and it was healed. It’s so easy to care for and very unlikely that’ll get infected.

@Alyssa no the healing process is not different for adults and children. It’s the exact same procedure. Babies just can’t tell you it hurts. Americans are obsessed with circumcising their children and it’s really sad. It’s not medically necessary and washing an uncircumcised penis is not difficult. It’s the same.

@Cass adults healing process is slower. (This goes for any procedure, same reason goes for why they like to remove tonsils when young opposed to adulthood.) I was a CNA and so I have cleaned many many penises and it is definitely different. Older adults that have difficulty cleaning get very bad smegma build-up under the foreskin. Nothing against being uncircumcised it’s a personal decision but you can’t deny there’s a difference and bash other people for their decision to circumcise.

@Alyssa thank you sm 🙏🏼 when he’s older his father will talk to him about it and im sure he will be thankful

Unless medically necessary it's disgusting to circumcise your child. It is no different to female genial mutilation and I don't care if this comes across as unkind or not because if I was to post "I'm cutting off part of my daughter's genitals for "hygiene" she'll thank me in future" I would get barraged with hate and told I'm abusive. If you think it's better why don't you get your clitoral hood removed? Let him decide if that's something he wants but until then it isn't fair for you to decide on his behalf it can and often does cause lots of damage but you won't listen to anyone other than the people encouraging this mutilation.

@Caitlin sounds good but he’s still getting circumcised 😂

Okay your choice but you're abusing your child personally don't understand what's funny about that, 20 years from now it'll be "why doesn't my son talk to me" because you don't respect him now you clearly won't respect him as he grows and he'll see it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Unnecessarily mutilating a child's body is abuse, plain and simple whether it's a piercing, circumcision or hitting them it is abuse they are not of an age to consent to bodily changes like that

🤣🤣 glad you're not entertaining these ignorant lies.

At this point i just wouldn’t do it and let him choose when hes older if he wants to or not

@Halah it will be easier on him in the long run and I know he will thank me 😂 so idc what they say

@Caitlin piercing a child’s ears is abuse? Ma’am you’re crazy.

“he will thank me later” is kind of a weird reason to do it in my opinion.. my man is circumcised but he wishes he wasn’t. you don’t know how he will feel in the future

Got my boys done at 2 weeks best thing ever i did, he’ll thank me when he grows older , not getting ur child circumcised can cause all sorts of issues, my midwife’s brother was 30 and had issues as he wasn’t even circumcised and HAD to get it done as there was a serious infection sooo

@Izzie i highly doubt your man said he wishes he wasn’t circumcised 😂

Lmao I agree😂

@Maria yeah my husband wasn’t circumcised and it made him self conscious and finally at 16 he got it done and he’s been fine ever since and he says he doesn’t want his son to feel the pain of doing it later so he wants to get it done right now

i think i would know, we’ve been together for 8 years and talked about it multiple times

@Izzie thats great

My cousin did at 13 🥴 everyone in our family talks about it because the recovery was so awful. It’s your decision ultimately

if you already know you’re going to do it why come on here asking abt it ? and being rude to those who share a different opinion?

@Nichelle yeah that’s why I want to do it earlier

@Nichelle ofc not at 13 my husband doesn’t wanna do that maybe like 7 8 months

@Izzie I didn’t ask if I should do it? I asked what’s the latest other people did it? You came on here spreading your unwanted opinion.

my bad, i wasn’t the only one. good luck to you and your son

@Izzie thank you ❤️

@Caitlin I doubt her son will stop talking to her because she circumcised him 😅

The OP didn’t ask anyone’s opinion if she should or shouldn’t circumcise HER OWN child. That wasn’t the question. The same way you guys don’t want people involved in your decisions for YOUR kids, don’t come giving free opinions when the original question wasn’t that. And on top of the unsolicited advice, some comments are spreading misinformation 🙄

@Beatriz THANK YOU! God bless ❤️ cause I didn’t come here for the “ears pierced is abuse” mothers I just wanted to know what’s the latest other people did it😁🙏🏼

@Tiana right 😐 crazy world we live in now some lady compared it to cutting our cl!t off …

Any women whose ever been with an uncircumcised man will tell you the sex is out of this world better than those who are circumcised. It not only stimulates the man more, it aids in stimulus to the women for a proper sexual experience. I believe it’s up to each person to make that decision for their child because it’s better to be done younger as a baby than as an adult, I live in the US, my husband is circumcised and so are a lot of guys I know, but I personally couldn’t justify mutilating his body just because. No judgement here, I fully had my own choice with my boys and that was my decision.

@Ashley what a weird comment to leave on a post of a woman asking about circumcising her SON.

@Ashley good to know glad it’s not your son .

@Halah who will become a whole MAN lol

@Vivianna very true but a lot of men and women prefer to be uncircumcised even then I wasn’t asking any of that I was asking that I was asking what’s the latest other people did it
