→ACOG information for parents: Add text and citation.
}}</ref> The ACOG statement also fails to inform parents of the [[Immunological and protective function of the foreskin| immunological functions]] of the foreskin, the value of [[breastfeeding]] in reducing [[UTI]], or the increased difficulty of initating breastfeeding after [[circumcision]].
ACOG now uses the device of saying "why parents choose" to reduce their ACOG's potential liability. <ref name="acog2017" /> This statement cites the [[AAP]], however, the AAP's last statement expired in August 2017. The AAP now has no identifiable official position on [[circumcision of the newborn]]. !
AGOG provides no information , which may dissuade parents from choosing [[circumcision]], on the various [[Foreskin#Physiological_functions| functions of the foreskin]], <ref name="acog2017" /> which are now well known to medical science.<ref name="cold-taylor1999">{{ColdCJ TaylorJR 1999}}</ref> <ref name="alissa2025-07-03">{{REFweb
