My question is why circumcision is performed on these young babies
before breastfeeding is established if there is information available to
the public that suggests that it can interfere with bonding, proper feeding
techniques, and it can be performed at a later date after breastfeeding has

immune function' for the underlined portions of your post and i suspect the
answers you come up with will fit both scenarios.
