Since you’re expecting, I thought I’d share something that many parents don’t know.
Circumcision is unnecessary and harmful. Your child will thank you for researching this before taking an irreversible destructive step (although hundreds of thousands of men are enduring a tedious mutli-year process of non-surgical foreskin restoration to undo some of the sexual damage).
The best research – if you can devote 20 minutes to learning about something that will affect him for LIFE – is to go to YouTube and watch the medical video Functions of the Foreskin.
The rate circumcision is now below 50/50 for US infants, and 95% of non-Muslim families worldwide don’t circumcise.
Good Luck,
-Ron

Hi Emily, do you remember what the name of the app was that you used on your iPad to help you track Cullen’s growth and development while pregnant? Thanks
