<< I've said it -- many times -- in lots of conferences I've done. My private
practice is about 85% little boys -- at least as far as latch-on problems are
concerned.
Crowell, et al, (JNM, June ? 1994) also noticed that it took little boys
longer to learn how to go to the breast. >>
I wonder how many of these difficulties could be related to circumcision? I
find the tummy to tummy position in a little boy who has been circumcized puts
pressure on the circumcision site and the little boys are fussy.
Just my theory.
