I decided while I was pregnant that I didn't want to bring my baby to a pediatrician. Â I see a family practice doctor and I love her, so I figured that it would be easier to just bring him to the same woman. Â In all of the times that she has seen my baby naked- granted he is only 12 weeks so it hasn't been a LOT of times- she has never said anything about his intact penis. Â Not a word. Â She has never touched it, only his scrotum to check his testicles. Â It leads me to wonder, are family practice doctors less likely to be circ happy than pediatricians? Â What have your experiences been like?

 I take DS to a pediatrician (actually, we saw several in the practice before deciding which one to see regularly) on a regular WBV schedule. I've never had an issue with retraction and his intact state has never been brought up, and there is a diaper check at every visit as I recall. I'm always surprised to hear that people have such difficulties with their peds, as that has not at all been the case for us.
