foreskin! are you suppossed to pull back and clean everytime you bath your baby

[addictedtolatte]

please dont flame me i feel stupid and genuinly do not know. my ds is 22 months old and has a fungal infection under his foreskin but i have never pulled it back to clean it. i do know while he is having treatment. should i have been doing this all along?

no dont worry. You're told not to touch them so its nothing you have or havent done

thanks bronze i feel a bit relieved. felt i'd inflicted the pain on him with my naivity

nope - you leave them alone until he proudly pulls it back himself at 2 or 3 or 4 and says LOOK AT MY WILLY!

And you hope that that happens at bath time, not in church.

you are supposed to leave well alone as retracting it can cause more harm than good. You probably wouldnt be able to get it back very far anyway. DS is
3 1/2 and hasnt pulled it back fully yet.
