Explain to me this mom phenomenon: The same folks who say that circumcising is genital mutilation are the first to suggest cutting a baby’s tongue and lip ties so they can breastfeed better. There are more proven medical advantages to circumcision than breastfeeding.

I am not anti-circumcision but “there are more proven medical advantages to circumcision than breastfeeding” seems...off. This is the first time I’ve heard this claim.

That claim's more than "off" - it's ridiculous. The int'l medical consensus on #circumcision - which is here: https://www.littleimages.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Cultural-Bias-in-the-AAPs-2012-Technical-Report-and-Policy-Statement-on-Male-Circumcision.pdf … is that "there is no compelling reason to deny boys their legitimate right to make their own informed decision when they are old enough to do so."
