A mother from a playgroup that I go to is telling lies about me and things I said and I would really like to give her some info. I'll look this stuff up for myself too but if anyone has links or good info that could support my position that'd be great. So she sent a message to a friend about circ and these are some of the finer points:
1) She doesn't believe that foreskin is sold.
2) Her ds's circ didn't hurt much because they used numbing cream (am I remembering correctly reading about the AAP and the Canadian Ped Society saying numbing cream is not enough? Not to mention all the side effects, which I will inform her about).
3) No exposure to pee and poop because of the plastibell (also, isn't plastibell the most painful method?).
4) She circed because she knew someone who had to be circed at the age of three because they dropped a toilet seat on themselves....could that even be a legit reason for a circ?
5) She doesn't beleive that circs are done later in life because of doctor's ignorance and the fact that people pull the foreskin back when they shouldn't. she says the nurses told her not to pull back so obviously everyone knows now not to do that. are there any stats comparing circing for medical reasons later in life among other countries?
I guess that's about it, besides a bunch of other bs that i'll respond to. I'd really like to clear up her misinformation about all this because she will be having more kids and I hate that she is spreading it around. Thanks is advance if you can help at all. She keeps going on and on about how much better it is to have it done as an infant when they're numb and have no idea what's going on
