Please say a prayer for my new nephew  

post #1 of 13
Thread Starter 
Sweet little thing was born last night at 10:30. He is being circed tomorrow. Please say a prayer with me that he has a relatively painless experience and that he's not too traumatized by it all. When I see him I'm giving him extra kisses for the torture he's had to endure.

Poor little guy! If it's not until tomorrow, maybe there is still time to email the circ video to the parents?

Hello,

Just a reminder we do not host commentary on religious circumcision.

I'm so sorry for his pain. And yours. I know you've done all you could.

Well, it was done today. The thing that bothers me most is he was born at only 5 1/2 lbs, what kind of doctor circs a baby that small?!?!?!?!?!?!

I hear ya My cousin's newborn was circ'd yesterday or day before. I tried so hard. I gave her printouts, which she claims she didn't 'have time' to read, so I talked to her directly back in November. I tried so hard and feel so awful for him.
I told my mother I don't see how I can feel the same way about my cousin that I did before, she tells me that there were just too many pro-circ influences on her and her BF, but I still don't think I can look at her the same way especially after I gave her the info.

Plenty of them. My nephew was born via emergency c-section at 35 weeks and 5.5 pounds, and was circed when he was 5 days old. And surprise surprise, nursing didn't go so well.

I hope there's a special place in hell for doctors who cut defenseless babies.
