mum with 3 boys here that have their skin on ,, no soap like others have said and as the other lady said when they get a liitle Rection it pulls itself back naturally

my sons have had little infections from time to time i go to the doc to make sure everythings ok and they check it out ,, as im the only girl in this house not knowing what to do before i go to a male doctor every fes months to look at it if i feel that its red or changing etc,,

one doc in the past has slightly pulled it back and it was stuck ,, just dont do this yourself

i made the decision not to have my son circumcised at birth, and was told by various Dr's and midwives not to pull the foreskin back as forcing it back will hurt and may cause damage ..i was told.. to simply wash the area as normal..soap beneath the foreskin can cause irritation and infection.. as my son got older.. he is now almost 7.. we started to teach him to gently ease the skin back and wash it with water only..now he is older.. its easier for him to do..(specially when he has a mini erection..lol... Lorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and i have noticed that the head of his penis is almost completely free of the foreskin..granted.. he still has to be reminded to wash there properly. and most times if im not standing there watching him do it.. he probably wont..there is so much conflicting advice on what to do and how to do it.. i think teh important thing to remember is..never EVER force the foreskin back..and dont wash with soap once it has been retracted..good luck...xoxo

When he is having a bath, get him to play with it. It teaches a few things. 1. That it is OK to play with it there in the bath, in privacy, and 2. It will help by letting the water in there and cleaning. At the age of 3 1/2 this is OK to do. I have 3 boys, all uncircumcised. Also you can soon start to teach him to pull gently back on the foreskin when he goes to the toilet to do a wee. I assume he is toilet trained and going to the toilet. If he is still on a potty it is too difficult and just playing with it in the bath water will be fine. So long as you wash the penis this is all you have to do.

this is why i got my son cut at birth. i am told that you should gentle pull the foreskin back and clean and he is supost to clean after going to the loo as well.  i personally dont know anyone who isnt cut to ask them, but ask someone if you feel comfortable or go and see your doc as this is one thing i would not mess about with.
