Wash the baby - including his genital area - with soap and water.
Step2
Teach your son to retract the foreskin, when he is old enough to bathe himself and the foreskin is retractable.
Step3
Rinse the head of the penis and the inside fold of the foreskin with warm water, and slip the foreskin back into place over the head of the penis.
Tips & Warnings
Retraction can occur a few days after birth - or months or years later.
Forced retraction or manipulation of the foreskin for cleaning could cause swelling, bleeding and pain. The foreskin also might get caught around the penis and obstruct the flow of urine.
