Good morning, Mothers. I have a question. My son is 6 months and we chose to not circumcise him, but at the doctor they are saying that you should be able to pull back the foreskin to be able to see the head of the penis. I’ve never been able to do that ever. So now they want us to see someone to make sure he doesn’t need a circumcising, but when I look it up it says he’s fine. I don’t know. Anyone have this issue?

Don’t ever pull back the foreskin!! Get a different doctor!! At that age the foreskin is still fused to the head of the penis. Pulling it back at all can cause the skin to tear and cause pain and infections!!

That’s my favorite intact care website, there are many others. If he can pee, leave it be. No circumcision necessary.

The only person who should ever pull the skin back is the boy himself.

Your doctor is nuts! You don't ever pull it back! What the hell??

See that’s what I was thinking. He pees fine. Filling up diapers no problem. And like I said when I look it up, they say it shouldn’t be able to be retracted until later. Thank you everyone. I knew that sounded wrong.

Change doctors asap!! Don't ever retract, they do it themselves when they get older!!! Omg!

You aren’t supposed to pull it back if there is stuff in there it will come out on its own
