Discharge on baby boy penis

Yesterday 23:33 Jem01

My son is 6 months old and a last night I noticed a small bit build up of discharge or smegma at the tip of his penis. I cleaned it, being careful not to draw the foreskin back but more of the discharge returned today. Is it an infection or Is this normal? Do I just continue to clean it?

He doesn't seem to be in any discomfort and his penis doesn't look sore or red. This last week he has discovered he has a penis (!) and constantly grabs it when I'm changing him. I thought, at first, he was just exploring himself but now I'm worried he could have an infection.

Any advice from others who have experienced something similar with their sons would be really helpful. Thank you.

It might be worth checking it out with your Doctor or nurse at your surgery. It could be his foreskin is a little tight or as you say he has an infection. Easily sorted by the doctor I am sure
