My stepfathers parents recently passed away, he came across this book that his mother recieved from the hospital when he was born. Thought you all would be interested in the section on genital care.
"the genital organs in babies of both sexes should be kept scrupulously clean with as little handling as possible. Boys should be examined by a physician to see whether the penis is normal or whether adhesions are present between the foreskin and the glans which should be separated. The physician will decide whether circumsicion is needed. Two or three times a week at bath time or as often as needed for cleanliness, the foreskin should be drawn back until the raised edge of the glans is visible and the organ then cleansed by wiping with cotton cloth moistened with tepid water."
I will be keeping this for those people who say, "well my father wasn't circumcised and he had horrible infections, adhesions etc..."
I know this is all info we know but I thought it was interesting to see it in writing and not just word of mouth.
