Well, Jan, as long as we're on the subject of fdg. & circs, I may as well
ask if anyone has even more specific stats than that. Has anyone else
noticed a special problem with *big* babies (like your 10#er) and fdg after
circs? Anecdotally speaking ONLY here, but I've noticed over the years that
big chunky babies are even less likely to feed well after circ than
med-sized ones.

I always hated to see those 10#+ babies, because they seem to me to be
frequently more difficult to get to the breast in any case, and when they've
been circ'ed before good nsg established...Anyone else observe this, or know
of any studies?
