absolutely not! leave that foreskin alone and do not try to retract it. not only will this be quite painful for the baby it will cause tears in this sensitive tissue and make it prone to an infection. the foreskin is not retractable because of natural adhesions so leave it be. it will naturally retract over time but not in six months. it will more likely be six to eight years or longer before this happens. i know that may be contrary to what was believed when you as a grandmother had a little boy. most of the males on this planet are uncircumcised. just the way the nature intended. an uncircumcised penis does not require any special care other than normal bathing (without pulling the foreskin back).
does a uncircumcised newborn need to have the skin pulled back when cleaning the his private. my grandson is a little over 30days old and is not circumcised. the mom said the doctor told her that she does not need to pull his skin back to clean it before the baby is 6 months old. is this true?
