we had our ds done at 7wks. There were a few factors when it was decided. One was dh can't teach what he doesn't know. Another was dh's brother isn't circumcised and had constant problems. Dh's fathers friend had to be circumcised in his 40's (medical reasons) and didn't want our boy to have to have it done later in life (if those kind of problems arose). My dad had to have it done a little later (before he was 10 tho).

I was very hesitant as there was nothing wrong with him at birth, so why would I do that? Having said that and having had ds done, if I have another boy, there'd be nothing to think about... Have it done again.

megsgr - I asked my dh the same thing... he came back with just how many ppl he knew who were and who weren't (how he knew some of them I have no idea!) but we asked lots of ppl about the topic and found out that way. (there was even a drunken [one-sided]arguement on the subject in our house one night)
