Answer 2

Sorry I'm not in alberta to tell you exactly how much it costs....but i'm in BC and it cost us $150

Answer 3

The cost is more than the dollars.  There is a cost in depriving him of an important part of his sexuality.  The f******n is meant to slide back and forth during intercourse, and give pleasurable sensations. And the glans of circumcised men gets keratinized(desensitised) over time. Circumcised men have to bang away frantically to get even part of the sensations avaliable to uncircumcised men, And don't believe the BS about doing it for hygiene reasons.  Ten seconds is all it takes to wash oneself daily. You will smell better as well.

Answer 4

don't do it!!!

Answer 5

If it's being done for religious reasons haven't you spoken to the mohel or whoever is doing it and haven't they told you how much it costs? They would no better than people on here. Wait, do you even have to pay if it's religious? If it were truly a religious circumcision it would be done as a ceremony and you could ask. Though really even if it's religious I still think it's unfair to put that religion onto a newborn's body.

Hi here are a couple of sites.  one is in Vancouver, and the other is in toronto

Dr. jesin is an MD and a mohel that does religious circumcisions.

contact any one of the three sites. they may be able to give you the name of a doctor or mohel that will do it.  

If you are close to the american border, you can cross over and many obstetricians or urologists will do it. with the rate of exchange it may be the way to go.

anyway here are the sites:

hope this helps. congrats on your baby boy.  you are making the right choice.

Answer 7

it ranges in price from hospital to hospital, some Dr will do it in office for a 20 or 30 dollar tray fee.. but in hospital it ranges from 60 bucks to 260 bucks, just call the hospital you plan to have it d one at, some benifit plans also cover it, so call your insurance company and ask  

Answer 8

That would be best answered by your doctor or pediatrician. Usually, you can schedule it when baby is 8 days old (safest - research circumcision on the 8th day). It should be covered by insurance. Otherwise, it might be a couple hundred for in office surgery. It's a minor procedure.  

Answer 9

Why isn't he being done by a mohel, or by whoever does it when a child is Muslim (please pardon my ignorance; I know very little about Islam)?  I assume that because he's a baby though, you're Jewish.

I am not in favour of infant circumcision, so I won't give you any advice on how much this will cost you, or where you can find more information on it.  I just had to ask the question above.
