Hi Tegan, just felt compelled to write something on the topic. There are no 'rules' about whether your parenting is good/bad depending on your decision on circumcision, so don't worry about if it fits in with gentle parenting.

Just have to say that hygiene is really not a reason to get it done (unless it is medically necessary eg if the foreskin never retracts). Remember, boys are born with it for a reason! And of all the reasons to get it done, 'being like daddy' seems to be one of least compelling IMHO (my DS is not circ but my DH is and DH's father isn't!). Religious grounds are something else entirely.

But like others have said, if you choose to or not, remember you'll be just as good a mother to your DS and don't worry about others judging you!
