[QUOTE="emotionallybankrupt, post: 370662, member: 8226"] In his case, I don't believe there was any medical reason to wait. He wasn't the stereotypical fragile premie. He was early, but was 6 lbs. and able to go home within the week. I do "get it," however, that NICU staff would not be putting a procedure like this at the top of the priority list. I think the two mistakes made were (1) that difficult child and hubby did not get a regular pediatrician until about a month ago and that (2) the choice of circumcision wasn't even mentioned by anybody before discharge. The point is well taken, though, that this is not my child and these are not my decisions. Unnecessary trauma is still going to bring a rise out of me, and I think the way this was handled brought unnecessary pain. difficult child's history of irresponsibility, etc. doesn't help my perspective any. I have no faith in her likelihood to make wise parenting decisions. BUT, I'm venting here, not to her. [/QUOTE]
