The late Dr. Benjamin McLane Spock, M.D., (1903-1998) was a prominent twentieth century American pediatrician and author.
Dr. Spock wrote numerous books on child care in his lifetime. Many have been updated by other authors and are still available. His classic, Baby and Child Care, is now in its tenth edition.
Views on child circumcision
Spock initially favored child circumcision, but when the American Academy of Pediatrics, a medical trade association, said circumcision had no medical indication,[1] he started to change his view. His studies on psychology of children also helped him to reach that decision.
