When and why do non jewish americans start to circumcise their infants?

Newborn: Most circumcisions are performed in the hospital before a child is discharged. There is evidence that a circumcision will decrease the chances of infection in the first year of life. The reduction of adult infection and also some forms of cancer are other reasons.

Don't know: This is purely by parental choice. I do not try to sway parents one way or another. Circumcision in the office can be done by your OB or pediatrician in the first 2-3 weeks of life.
