How do you clean your LO’s uncircumcised penis?

Question

How do you guys clean your boy’s uncircumcised penis?
I pull the skin back a little to clean the white build up, but it doesn’t go further than the head. I know some moms who don’t pull back the skin at all, because the are scared to damage the penis, and now I am scared I am doing something wrong.

Answer

Never retract it!! It's fused, and you can rip it and cause damage if you try. Check out "your whole baby". It's a website that teaches you how to care for an intact boy. You just clean it like a finger. Absolutely no need to retract it or try to clean inside of it, it's actually a huge no no.

Answer

Just wash it like a finger. You should never retract his foreskin. It will do it on its own around puberty and he should be the only one to ever do it. I never have seen any build up of anything on his.

Answer

Don't pull it back at all just clean it like you would at other body part. My son is 3 and hasn't pulled his back yet (that I know of).
Talk to your pediatrician at your next appointment 🙂

Answer

Omg! I have been pulling mine’s skin back just a little bit, to clean the white build up on the head of his penis. I hope I didn’t damage anything and he won’t have long term effects from this 😭 he never reacted to me cleaning and never seemed bothered by it! I never saw any bleeding either!! Please tell me he’s gonna be okay. 😱

Answer

We were told to never pull it back. We just wipe it as if you were wiping your index finger etc

Answer

I just wash it like a finger, just soap and water. The skin will pull back as they get older, but definitely not right now. (I have 3 uncircumcised boys) lol

Answer

Following. My little ones don’t go no further than the head as well and was wondering if that was normal? I didn’t want to get his done even though his dad wanted too.
