Timing of Circumcision and Breastfeeding Frequency: A Randomized Clinical Trial

1) To determine when the majority of male infants are being circumcised at 3 hospitals across
the US (Brooke Army Medical Center, Naval Medical Center San Diego, and Dartmouth Hitchcock
Medical Center. 2) To assess the breastfeeding patterns of circumcised male infants at the
above-mentioned academic medical centers. Specifically, to determine if these babies are
breastfeeding at the time of hospital discharge, at their newborn visit, their 2-week visit,
and all subsequent well visits up until 6 months of age.

3) To determine if there is a significant relationship between the timing of newborn
circumcision and breastfeeding initiation, establishment, and maintenance in the first 6
months of life. We hypothesize that the timing of circumcision will not be significantly
associated with frequency of breastfeeding among mother-infant dyads during the initial
months of life.
