我家宝宝快生了，最近在看华人上mm关于包皮切割术的帖子，有帖子谈到AAP的立场一直是中立。
我老公坚决反对做这个手术。我们也决定不做了。
今天无意中看到这篇文章，只是想和大家分享一下。

文章原话说：
Until now, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has remained fairly neutral on the subject. But on Monday, the influential pediatricians’ group updated its policy statement from 1999, stating that the “preventive health benefits of elective circumcision of male newborns outweigh the risks of the procedure.” The organization stopped short of routinely recommending the procedure for all baby boys, noting that the decision of whether circumcision “is in the best interests of their male child” should be left up to individual families. But they added that those families that choose circumcision — and most U.S. families still do, although the practice has been on the decline — should be reimbursed by insurance.

纯属信息分享，我家应该还是不做的。mm们看看即可，具体决定还是两口子商量哈。
