The parents of a newborn male ask the nurse about circumcision. They are undecided as to what to do. Which response by the nurse is best?

Circumcision is best because it will prevent the baby from obtaining a sexually transmitted disease.

If you do not circumcise your baby, he will have difficulty maintaining adequate hygiene.

It is best not to circumcise your baby because the procedure is very painful for newborns.

I recommend you discuss the pros and cons of circumcision with the newborn's health care provider.
