Dela

This week, Anna is joined by Ellie Beal BSN, RN for an honest conversation about infant circumcision and what parents should know before making this decision for their baby boy.


Together, Anna and Ellie discuss the function of the foreskin, the dark origins of circumcision in the US, the lack of evidence behind commonly cited medical benefits, potential complications, and the importance of informed consent for newborns. They also explore how cultural norms influence parental decisions and the real numbers behind how common circumcision is today in the US. We hope you enjoy this eye-opening episode!
