Yikes! More incorrect care advice.

This actually says to push it back as far as it will easily go and wash it in the bath. :

I like the conflicting information:

Never force the foreskin back. Forcing may cause a tear on the lining of the foreskin. Not only will this hurt your baby, but when the tear heals, the healed tissue will be tighter. If this keeps happening, your baby will end up with a tight foreskin which will not retract (pull back).

When you are bathing your baby, gently wash under the foreskin. Move it back as far as it will go -- which isn't very far in the first years -- and let any secretions that may have gathered under the foreskin out.

What are you supposed to do? I've only ever had a girl! I have a gut feeling this one might be a boy....

[mysticmomma]

nothing at all buttercups. Just wipe the outside like you would wipe of a finger (from base to tip). Never pull back or manipulate the foreskin at all. The only person that should ever do that is the owner of the penis.
