DO NOT DO ANYTHING TO IT!
All you have to do is rinse him with a little mild soap and water. DO NOT EVER RETRACT HIS FORESKIN! As a baby, his foreskin will still be attached. Retracting it would be like ripping off a fingernail! It would HURT and cause problems for him. Forcing the foreskin back may harm the penis, causing pain, bleeding, and possibly adhesions. It is still attached to keep poop from his diaper out of his penis. When he is around school age he will discover he can retract it. Then he should just retract the skin and rinse with water.

This is a quote from the care booklet we give our new moms.
"Wash the area daily with soap and water. Do not attempt to pull back his foreskin. It will remain attached to the penis for months or even years. When the foreskin is easily retractable, the glans may be washed."
Our society is so used to circumcised baby boys, not a lot of people know how, or are comfortable with taking care of a boy who has not been circ'd.
Congratulations on you baby boy! And, try to relax and enjoy him. "Things" can wait. He's only a baby for such a short, short time.

Don't do anything 'extra' to it. Just wash up in the bath. He'll take care of pulling it back whenhe gets older and starts playing with it. Just treat it as any other part of the body.

DO NOT RETRACT THE FORESKIN! I don't care WHO tells you to. You don't have to train it or anything. Just wash it like everything else.
I have one intact son (7 weeks) and one circumsiced son (almost 3).

I think you should ask a dad. If he's circumcised just wipe em down good. he'll be aight. if not then you gotta make sure you pull the "sleeve" back and wipe em good under there to.

What a lame ***. I know you are just trying to get a rise from people, but still, what a dumb ***. If you are truly that lame, you don't need to have kids if you can't take care of them. Lame ***.
