[quote=Anonymous]My children's grandmother is a pediatrician, and my mother's best friend is a nurse for a urologist, and their professional opinions tipped us towards circumcision.  I was very open-minded about the question, being a homebirthing, homeschooling, alternative vaccinating, chiropractor-visiting mother, but I am confident in my decision.

OP, if you do decide to do it, I would strongly, STRONGLY urge you to use a mohel.  There are some doctors who are also mohels, and there are some rabbis who are superb mohels.  We used Rabbi Raphael Malka for our last two sons, and my MIL was present for one of the circumcisions, and she admitted that though she has done thousands herself, she could not match his skill.  Our boys did not cry and healed perfectly, beautifully within a day or so.

Rabbi Malka is extremely experienced, and truly a gem of a man.  My boys were born right around 38 weeks, so even at 8 days old, the retractions were a little tricky, but Rabbi handled it, no trouble or hesitation.  Just an amazing experience.

BTW, we are Catholic, not Jewish, and my MIL is Hindu, and we all really enjoyed his company.

I'm sure you'll make the right decision for your son.[/quote]
