Circumcision is the removal of the foreskin at the end of the penis.
It is done as a minor surgery, the day after birth or within a month of birth. Talk to your baby's doctor before making your decision. Some people are in favor of circumcision and others are not. You and your partner need to make the decision that is right for your family. Remember that most insurance companies don't pay for circumcision, so you need to ask about the cost before deciding.
