I'm right in thinking I don't need to take ds to the Drs for this, right?

DS is 17 months, and goes to nursery. He has recently discovered his penis, and likes holding it any chance he gets (Nappy changes are now a lot more fun ).
Nursery have obviously noticed as well, as there was a note in his book yesterday saying we may wish to take him to the Drs to get advice about it.
I'd get laughed at by the Dr, right? DH and I are happy that he is just exploring, and there is nothing to be concerned about, which is what we said to the staff yesterday. Surely the Dr would just confirm that it's perfectly normal?

I imagine they suggested dr just in case it is a sign of a urine infection.

If you're happy he doesn't have any other signs and is just exploring then don't worry. However, imagine if he got quite poorly, you took him to the GP and he had a urine infection. You mention it to the nursery and they say 'oh we did notice him fiddling with himself etc' you'd be furious that it hadn't been passed on.

I guess they're just covering themselves.
