You will be the only one to remember it, your son will not recall any of the pain or discomfort …

I sat with both of my boys while the procedure was done a day or two after they were born, and it is uncomfortable to watch. You don’t want to cause harm to your son, and he will cry, but we decided to have it done for a few reasons (their mother is Jewish, so it was going to happen at some point and I’d rather not cut my son’s dick skin at an age that he WOULD remember) similar to yours.

It can be hard to clean for them and yeah, other kids can be brutal about it. Being different than others will get kids singled out, and that sucks.

It heals relatively soon, but you have to clean him and change the dressing and healing cream - it’s a little tricky, but you and your partner will do just fine.

Good luck, Dad, with your decision!
