Here it states, "<i>The American Academy of Pediatrics believes that circumcision has potential medical benefits and advantages, as well as risks.</i>" What they don't tell parents is that the "potential" means to exist in possibilty, but not in reality, so a "potential benefit" is not an actual benefit.</ref>

Given what is known from aforementioned official documents, the AAP website may would be more informative and effective if it would say said ''"Make sure your doctor knows of the ineffectiveness of anything short of local anesthesia, and make sure your baby is given an injection. This is your responsibility, because your doctor may or may not be up to date on the latest understandings of infant sensitivity to [[pain]] during circumcision."'' The AAP may be holding back, however, perhaps because this would upset the doctor/parent power relationship, and may cause too much questioning of doctors in general. One may not expect to find this kind of advice on such a website, and yet, anything less than this is a dangerously weak statement.
