Pregnant with my baby boy

I did not circumcise mine as it's medically unnecessary. I will say he eats a ton 😂

My son is 11 years younger than my daughter 😅 no circumcision as I think it’s completely unnecessary. My boy feeds every 2 hours most of the time. I feed for about 3-5hours a day. My daughter was formula fed so she didn’t feed as much 😁 besides that I don’t see much of a difference. My boy is definitely easier and calmer so far.

Not circumcised. Eats just as much as the next kid. I don’t believe there to be any differences in terms of care. Can’t say Iv noticed either when talking to others and thinking “that’s because she’s a girl” or “that’s definitely a boy thing”

I took my son on his trike to the park yesterday where we met up with a woman and her dog.. she was telling me how quiet my son was and how she has a 2 yr old grandson too. We were talking about how dramatic nappy changes are atm and she agreed it’s the same with her grandson also.. by the end of this conversation she concluded “it must be a boy thing you know! I never hear of girl mums complaining of this!” It’s funny though because I hear EVERYONE complaining about it regardless of the gender of the child😂.

@Shay changing my twins nappies theseday is like going to war. Those chick's ain't having it. I don't believe there is any material difference raising a baby bases on gender. Maybe when they get a big bigger and the hormones kick in for reals... At OP in the UK it is really uncommon to circumcise unless for religious reasons. Its not available for free on the NHS either. You'll find almost all UK mums will tell you they didn't circumcise x

Biggest difference so far is he’s way bigger and he’s much more mobile. I think the other differences are probably personality based not gender based. Each kid is different! Yes we circumcised, for religious reasons.

Only thing I’d say is prepared to be hit with a fountain of pee when changing their nappy🤣 and this whole “boys are feral” it’s not completely true my little boy is quiet and the complete opposite to his cousin who is a girl 🤣 x

The biggest difference for me, so far, has been my kids have fit that stereotype of calm vs very….active lol. My 13 year old daughter was sooo chill when she was a baby/toddler. My son is a hot mess ball of energy 😂. I’ve definitely seen the roles reversed but more often than not, girls tend to be calm and boys, well, are boys 🫠 No circumcision here either.

I havent had my girl yet but I can tell you my boy is 2.5 and a sweet amazing kid. He gives the best hugs but be warned he LOVES rough play, wrestling, playing “I am gonna get you” lol. Lots of high energy time but also lots of cuddle time. No circumcision. I was set on doing it and just didnt feel right to me after he was here. Also I had a home birth so the thought of taking him into a hospital for a surgery didnt sit right. My niece and my sisters would be my comparison as I am 1 of 4 girls and we were all similar but also more calmish. My niece is more into bringing you toys or just very involved play where my son often independent plays. I was chatting with someone with both boy and girl and he said boy has the energy (wild child) lol and girl is more mentally challenging I guess lol so we will see. I am having my girl in 3 weeks but to me shes already pretty wild! Been beating me up since 17 weeks 😂❤️ I also think society expects more from little girls and that often impacts them.

No circumcision - it’s basically plastic/cosmetic surgery on a baby - that the parents decide on. (I understand and respect that there are religious exceptions - however doesn’t mean I agree with cutting it)

@Heather agreed !

As for boy and girl - well I had a boy first and my girl is 11 days old. My boy is a cyclone at the moment at the age of 3 🤣 can’t comment on the girl yet but my gf who had both and they are a bit older now says that girls are more dramatic and boys are more chill.

I am currently pregnant with my son. He will be circumcised. It’s a common practice in the US and given the research that I have done, I would prefer that he is circumcised.

I know each kid is totally different, but my boy is totally crazy with the jumping and flipping and trying to find new and creative ways to unalive himself on the daily, whereas my girl is more sensitive. My boy eats WAY more and is constantly hungry. I did agree to circumcise as it was my husband’s wish, but I instantly regretted it and if I had the chance I would have fought harder against it.

Every child is different regardless of their gender

I circumcised my son lol. I found he did eat more he was way more dangerous and was always hurt my daughter never got hurt but he was and still is a dare devil. I hate it so bad lol but he is so sweet. Our 3rd was a girl and now we are pregnant again and I am praying for another girl this time cause I don’t want the girl boy dynamic again 😭
