I say a forum is much better.
I tend to agree with sugarandspice on this one issue. You can still consult with your doctor, but remember: they ain't all that! I am constantly reminded of a joke:
Question: What do you call a guy who graduates from Medical University ranked 499th out of a class of 500?
Answer: A Doctor

I'm intelligent and can attempt to understand what research is found on the internet, as well as given here in a forum (which is a bit more user-friendly). Once I'm armed with the information, THEN I visit my doc and see what he/she has to say.

On this particular issue, I'm not surprised that a new parent wants to ask this question. But I'm very surprised that they think it's all so difficult. As other posters have said, the vast majority of the world is raising uncircumcised children without an epidemic of horrific conditions due to having a foreskin!
