Boys bits??

I remember someone posting something about teaching boys to pull their wee diddle (lol sorry I couldn't think of any other owrd) out or something. What was the deal with that again? I've noticed Jacks now has a wee wet bit in it sometimes when I'm changing his nappy which I'm guessing is it starting to come out or something?

Sorry if this makes no sense I was just sure there was something he had to do but I can't remember what and when to do it?

TIA

Some people recommend teaching boys to pull back their foreskin to stretch it to avoid it getting too tight.
I don't think its common practise any more though, my plunket nurse told me not to worry about it because most little boys take care of it by themselves out of curiosity anyway

Oh I remember asking this question before Harry was born, cos DH and I were wondering about it!

I found out that if it's not totally retracting by itself, you shouldn't pull it back cos that can actually damage the little joiny part that is still joined when they're little. So to just leave it to do it's thing.


ETA: Found the thread in question and bumped it up for ya. It was way back in September!! It's in the baby section "those of you with boys"
