the doctor has tried to advise us not to as it is an unnecessary surgical procedure. My partner is circumsized and we both agree it is much cleaner and hygenic but don't know if we should do it or not. has anyone had their young son circumsized? and advise?

'looks better'.

B/c that is the mian thing. Cosmetic surgery for babies. What'll they think of next?

Btw, the rate of circumcision is now below 60% in the US. Far from practically everyone. I'm American myself.

but to each their own,...
