advise needed on boys bits please.

My son is £ and 4 mths old. and his willy keeps getting hard....firstly is it normal for him to have this at such a young age? it happens when he's getting in the bath and plays with it, and he's currently led on the couch with a balnket over him but no bottoms on and is playing with his willy (normal i know) but he's made it get hard or as he says 'big' about 3 times now. my question is, is his forskin supposed to be able to strech over it at this age or not? the head of his penis doesn't look like it will come out of the foreskin as it looks very tight. will it strech with age or will he need (omg i cant think of the word for his foreskin cut off).....well will he need his foreskin cut off?

oh its come to me now, will he need circumsising? (sp?)

That's perfectly normal. It's a reflex, nothing sexual. As for the forskin, have a chat to the health visitor if you think there's a problem. She will let you know.

No!

It will stretch. He will let you know if he's in pain. Normal to have erections.

DS1 is 4 he plays withhis willy all the time, foreskin doesnt retract yet but the rate which he plays with it it is going to happen at some point.

ok then!! i wasn't too worried about it getting hard, it first happened about 6mths ago when i changed him as soon as he'd woken up....scared me as no-one had warned me it happens that young, but i kind of related it to purely him squeezing etc and blood flow....

The hole in his foreskin for the head to come out of looks extremely tight- and i dont think any amount of playing he does will stretch it IMHO..... though when its 'big' he says it doesn't hurt.

My ds's bits used to do this when I changed his nappy if it had been quite wet. No one warned me either!

ok...so i look a bit silly now...DH has just got in, seen me on here...i told him the same as i said in my OP and he said it didn't stretch for him till he was around 10 or so!!

thanks all for the re-assurance!!
