Dear Fellow Lactnetters,
I am concerned that the topic of circumcision is getting off topic and is a
culturally sensitive area.
In my experience as a BFC who has many orthodox Jewish clients, I have yet
to see a clear cut case where circumcision was the only factor in
breastfeeding challenges and it is extremely rare that it's any problem at all.
I have to say that the incident sited where the mohel infected the baby is
so rare as to not even be a statistic.
I find it difficult to take as truth anything the media has to say about any
religion; in the main, the impulse behind articles about religion is scandal
and sensation.
