I just had this forwarded to me. Janice Reynolds Dear Madam Executive Director: The National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers (NOCIRC) has released a position statement on the effects of circumcision upon the initiation of breastfeeding. The information contained in this statement is certain to be useful and of interest to mothers, lactation consultants, midwives, and others. The statement is located at: http://www.nocirc.org/statements/breastfeeding_statement2002.html Please inform your membership of its existence. Links are invited. Since about 27 percent of baby boys are still being circumcised in some provinces, this should be of considerable interest. Thanks! George Hill NOCIRC of Louisiana P. O.
