[HOT TOPIC] Newborn Male Circumcision - Yes or No?

This episode is one I originally did back in 2020. Since it comes up from time to time and can be a contentious topic, I decided to rebroadcast it today.In this episode, I’ll walk you through what circumcision is, its benefits and risks, and why some families choose to have this elective procedure. There are also some ethical questions you may want to consider before choosing to have your baby circumcised, so I talk about those too. My own thinking around this procedure has changed over time and maybe yours will too!--Full website notes: drnicolerankins.com/episode75Check out The Birth Preparation CourseRegister for the class How to Create a Birth Plan the Right WayOur Sponsors:* Check out Mochi Health at joinmochi.com and use my code DRNICOLE to get $40 Off!* Get 25% off your first month of Ritual's Fertility Support for a limited time at ritual.com/DRNICOLE!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
