Sure is nice to work in a country where intact foreskins are the norm!  People here don't even believe me when I tell them how common male infant circumcision is in the US.
In fact, I have never known a Norwegian family to seek this procedure, it is a Muslim issue here (since the number of Jews is so marginal as to be imperceptible outside of Oslo).  But about getting big babies to the breast-- this is not perceived as a problem here either, and we have a higher percentage of babies over 10 lb (about 4,5 kg).  Quite the opposite-- they are perceived as having more motivation to find and use the breast due to their increased needs!
