Article here. Excerpt:
'With the exception of a few colds, my 16-month-old son has been a healthy baby. He hasn’t been afflicted with chronic ear infections, colic or bowel problems. His visits to the doctor have been almost all routine.
...Like about half of newborn boys, my son was circumcised. The day we checked out of the hospital, the doctor and a nurse came and got him, wheeled him off and returned him a short time later. I was instructed to cover his wound with Vaseline and gauze for a week and a half. And that was it.
Except that wasn’t it.
When the little guy was about a month old, I started to wonder if maybe things weren’t all right. It looked like there was too much skin. It also looked like skin was re-adhering, as I’ve come to learn.
...
Fast-forward to last fall. The issue was not getting any better. It actually got worse, because, like all little boys, my son became curious about what that was down there. We went to the doctor after he started bleeding one day, and he scratched to the point of making his entire front diaper region inflamed. The doctor (a new doctor, since we had moved from Maine) said to watch it.'

That's sick.

I think since she has published her article it is fair to list her email. If Matt thinks differently, he can remove it. I am sure everyone knows the best way to get someone to listen to you is to not start by attacking them. Be nice but informative.
