This is the way I felt with circumcision when I was pg DS. DH has one and I don't, so I let him make the decision. I checked AAP info, and they didn't make a recommendation either way, so I left it up to DH. We did not end up circumcizing DS, because DH is not circumcized and he wanted them to be the same. DH's brother had a son 3 weeks before us and their son's boy part never fully came out (looked like a turtle), so it was painful for him. I don't think they had the "new" way of doing it, though. One of my friends that used our same pediatrician in IL had it done the "new" way on both of her sons and said they did great and didn't seem to be in any pain after it was done.
I remember when that thread was started - there was a previous "new mom" thread that I was a member of from when DS was born, and we all felt old when you started that thread so we changed our name to "toddler moms"![]()
Phew, I'm glad I'm not the only who knows of this "new" way to circumcise. I feel much better that someone else know it exists

Sorry about the thread, that is funny. I'm not big on jumping in when I don't know people and a few of us felt that way so I made a new one.
