MedHelp Member's Question

ANYONE???

by mommy1126, Jun 30, 2008 03:31PM

I am a new mommy, and have no idea as to what is "normal" for a baby boy. My son is uncircumcised and I've noticed that there is a little bit of skin on the head. Is that normal? Will it seperate?

Sounds normal, get it checked out with your Doc or Babynurse just to make sure.

I dont know what your religious Pref is but I would look into circumcision. Its cleaner and at that young he wont remember. Save him the pain later on down the road. I have 2 boys of my own. Plus it will save you from future concern MOM..

Both of my boys are not circuncised, they are fine, no problems. When he pees is it comming out ok? Just ask your Dr to make sure if you are worried. Once he is older you need to gently push back the skin and clean under, I don't remember at what age. Sorry, one thing I know for sure is do not force it OUCH.Lots of luck!!
