1. The Circumcision Discussion

   abckidsmom replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

   abckidsmom replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

   My son is not circ'ed, my daughters don't have piercings. Any of them can choose to have them done when they are old enough. I wouldn't recommend a circ for him, though.

   abckidsmom posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   I'm not an ob nurse (STICU, if that matters), but I'm wondering what you guys think. When my first dd was born, the lactation consultant was really intimidating, had me all propped on pillows every time she came to help with nursing, the baby was no...
