I dont know much about it, but i would really like to have some information. My dh recomended it and though i never thought about it be4, i like the idea. I have seen so many baby boys have theyr bits cut. So there must be a proper safe place for that? My ds is 3mo.

Well, i'm guessing you are not jewish otherwise you woud know more about it and would not be asking...

Are you in the UK? If so, it is not the norm here. Not sure why you would want to do it to be honest. If there is no medical imperative then I would avoid. Not sure how you could contemplate mutilating your baby because you think it looks "better and cleaner". It does not. It just looks different. We've stopped docking dogs but its ok to do it to babies?

If you want more info on this I would strongly advise you speak to your GP to find out exactly what's involved before you make the decision to randomly chop off body parts.

Go speak to your GP or local hosp. Else try a jewish or muslim centre (yellow pages?)
