The policy statement does have a reference to breastfeeding:
"In another example, breastfeeding was shown to have a threefold protective
effect on the incidence of UTI in a sample of uncircumcised infants. However,
breastfeeding status has not been evaluated systematically in studies
assessing UTI and circumcision status."79
So for those who are choosing NOT to circumcise, breastfeeding once again
proves to be beneficial.
