We used Petrolium jelly and will be using that on our second son too.
Vaseline, just clear basic petroleum jelly with no additives. It helps to use a 2x2 gauze square over the head of the penis to keep the wound from sticking to the diaper and causing more pain. It should heal within a week or so, just keep it clean and watch for signs of infection (they'll tell you what to look for - redness, swelling, purulent drainage, fever) and it should heal up with no problems.
I used neosporin its an antibiotic jelly for the first 1 1/2 weeks then i switched to petrolium jelly after ..
They Gave my son some jelly to use.
Ok thanx ladies..ftm..and clueless here..lol
Vasa line but I'd wait to buy anything till the doctors at the hospital tell you what you can and cannot use
They should give you something or let you know in the hospital :)
