My understanding is that circumcision is still common in the USA. I
don't know when this is done, but could the trauma of this procedure
(especially without adequate analgesia/anaesthesia) perhaps impact on
the baby's behaviour, i.e. suckling, leading to a longer time before
effective breastfeeding is established?
