i don't think so. i just leave these things well alone unless there is an obvious problem

advice is leave it alone

I was just about to post the same question. And pleasing to know that my mil, who had said that something wrong with his willy because you couldn't pull the foreskin back, was wrong

Our GP told us to tell our DS to pull it back gently himself when in the bath, just to keep it clean. This was when he was just over 2, before that we left it alone!

We tell our DS to do the same, Smellen, but looking at that link, there's no need, as it cleans itself.

Such a helpful link - thank you, Furball.
