[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I would suggest reading medical websites for this information [url]https://www.mottchildren.org/health-library/hw142263spec[/url] [url]https://www.chop.edu/conditions-diseases/care-uncircumcised-penis[/url]

The biggest takeaway is to not retract until he can retract himself. You, nor anyone else, should retract the foreskin.

Little boys will naturally play with their penis - completely normal- and during this discovery process they will be able to manage retracting the foreskin. Once that occurs, they would retract and clean with only warm water. Just like you dont use soap for the vagina, water is just fine. There are differing thoughts on this but if you do use soap, please dont use harsh/fragranced soap.

In the meantime, wash like a finger. If your kid is anything like mine, he is splishing and splashing in the water, which sometimes has bubbles. My 3 year old will sometimes clean himself and other times wont. Ive taken to using a cup filled with water and placing it almost in and over and then the whole cup of water rinses the pubic, penis, and scrotum area.

I have to be honest- what did you do with him as a baby? Your post makes it seem like he is older?

They pee the way they pee. No dudes pee the same, they all have to direct themselves according to how they are oriented. [/quote]

I knew that you weren't supposed to mess with it when they're babies so I left it alone, but now he's 10 and I worry I left it alone for too long.[/quote]
