Hi girls,
Just been getting involved in a debate on the 'Peaceful Parenting' page on Facebook about circumcising baby boys. I had absolutely no idea it was commonplace to get this done in America. not for religious reasons either. They reckon it's cleaner and also stops masturbation!
I'm honestly shocked. Do you know anyone that's had their baby circumcised? I don't. They're also told to peel the baby's foreskin back over there when changing nappies to 'properly clean' the area. Therefore lots of babies end up with infections and those mothers who refused circumcision or couldn't afford it end up being bullied into getting it done when baby gets infections. Over 300 babies die on average a year from complications during the circumcision op - usually from bleeding. A lot of the time a heavy bleed will go unnoticed because nappies are so absorbent these days.
Just can't get over it. Makes me so sad.
