Many have been updated by other authors and are still available. ==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.<ref name="aap1971">{{REFweb |url=https://www.cirp.org/library/statements/aap/#a1971 |title=Standards and Recommendation for Hospital Care of Newborn infants. 5th ed |last=Anonymous |first= |init= |publisher=American Academy of Pediatrics |date=1971 |accessdate=2023-05-16}}</ref> He started to change his view.
