I recently gave birth to ds#2 who (as per my instructions) has remained intact. when the nurses at the hospital learned I would not be circing him I got conflicting advice. one (and the one i trust the most) said that she was happy I wasn't putting him through that (me too!) and that regardless what ANYONE says it doesn't need any special treatment and not to pull back the foreskin (which i already knew and thus why i trust it 
) another told me that his ped would retract his foreskin at his first peds visit and I should continue that at every bath. (my response: she had better NOT and I surely will not retract my sons foreskin...EVER) yet another nurse told me that until he's *about 4 or 5 or so* I wouldn't need to do anything but once he hits the *magic* age I needed to start retracting it to clean under it.
his dr (thankfully) told me not to retract it...that he would do so himself at his own pace and quite like the vagina was a mostly self cleaning organ...once he hit puberty he would need to rinse under the foreskin at every shower but by then he would have retracted it himself.
I think its disgusting people are telling me to do something so invasive to my own ds. that would be like telling a mother of a girl she needs to stick her finger in her vagina at every bath.
