not when they are babies, no
No! You'll cause trauma to the penis if you do this. The foreskin will naturally retract when he's older. Just wipe it and wash it like you would a finger.
From what I heard and my research, you’re not supposed to do anything. However my MIL and family friend have been bugging us about doing it since my son was born!!! (They’re from Portugal). It always bothered me and it never made sense doing it but for some reason it was a thing back in the day 😞
No just clean what you see for now. It naturally separates way later between 5-10 years old.
No! Never mess with the foreskin.
@Kayleah this >>> 👏🏽
No, you should not. I researched the same thing recently, see link below. https://www.webmd.com/parenting/baby/your-newborn-boys-genitals-care-of-penis
No! It will hurt them badly!!! Do research! It will eventually retract on itself when he’s older!
My mom n family were all telling me to pull the skin down and clean it and I spoke to the pediatrician and they said that is not recommended anymore.
So according to all these comments.. im the only one that does this.. 😅 I have 3 boys..
Do not pull back the skin!!
Nope just clean like a finger. It'll go back on its own as he gets older.
First time boy mom & same! I had asked my MIL since she had two boys she said she couldn’t remember. Then on the other hand my mom said to pull the foreskin. She was telling me how it would get infected and etc etc because my brothers went through that. So I just thought it’d be better for me to ask his pediatrician and she told me the same thing. She said not to pull the skin and to just let him play with it that way it slowly adjust. She said it wasn’t a concern at all until his a little older.
