Jean;

  Yes circumcision is comon in the US. usually it is done prior to discharge
as a way to get insurace to pay the cost. Yes, we see baby boys shut down
after this procedure.

    I believe that some of the md's on this list wait for established bf
before the procedure. If bf is rocky this certianly can add to the problems.

    The time span of separation is also a factor in this. how log is the baby
away from the mother before and after the procedure.
