Hello, All:  I don't want to start a debate on whether to circ or not to 
circ.  Friday, I overhead one of our OBs challenging a nurse when she told 
him that circumcision before 24 hours of age can negatively impact 
breastfeeding learning in the baby.  He wanted to know:  "Who told you 
that? Pam?"  He didn't see me standing at the other end of the nurses' 
station, but I butted in to get the nurse off the hook.  I briefly 
explained some of the issues to him and his response was:  "You're making 
this up.  Right?"  I repeated some of the explanation I had just given him 
and he turned to the nurse and said:  "All right.  No circ today."  Woo-
hoo!  I got him to listen to us!  Now, I certainly want to follow up with 
an information packet I can distribute to the OBs offices, as well as a 
parent education packet that can be given out in our prenatal classes.  
Anyone got anything they put together and would be willing to share?  
Ideally, I would like to develop a protocol that would delay a circ 
definitely the 1st 24 hours and possibly up to 3 days for those moms who've 
had a C-section and will be with us longer.
