I searched the stickies, and unfortunately the links there are no longer working

I know of 3 women who are pregnant and who are adamant about bfing, and lukewarm about not circing. I'm in the process of printing up some articles.

And any recommendations on articles would be great; I'm going to print up the 2 Fleis ones.

Thanks
Amy

ETA ---how about a more recent link on the current stats in the country? Does it exist? Or the circ rate in the NE?

from LLL:
http://www.cirp.org/library/birth/mohrbacher1/
"When a baby undergoes a painful medical procedure, such as a heel stick, injection, spinal tap, or circumcision, he may shut down and be unreceptive to feedings until he is feeling better."

NB the above LLL ref continues with info that does *not* apply to circumcision, though the writing does not make this clear. It is impossible to breastfeed an infant while he or she is being circumcised. There is also no mention that it may take over a week for the child to begin to "feel better"...
