Changes

[[Foreskinned]] guys know from personal experience how wonderful it is to have a fully functional [[penis]] with all of its parts. Most want to have any son's infant [[intact]] [[foreskin]] protected. Unfortunately, most maternity hospitals in the [[United States]] are spring-loaded to the [[circumcision]] position. One must consider measures for [[protection of intact newborns in hospital]]. Your [[intact]] newborn son 's [[foreskin]] will probably be safer when he gets home from the hospital.

Nature designs the foreskins of boys so that they will stay in position where its [[immunological and protective function of the foreskin| protective and immunological functions]] can be effective. Your infant son's [[foreskin]] may not retract for many years, perhaps not until after puberty, so no attempt should be made to retract it. Wash the outside of his [[foreskin]] like washing a finger. The first person to retract his foreskin should be the boy himself.<ref name="Wright1994">{{REFjournal |last=Wright |init=JE |title=Further to the "Further Fate of the Foreskin" |journal=Med J Aust |volume=160 |issue= |pages=134-5 |url=http://www.cirp.org/library/normal/wright2/ |quote= |pubmedID=8295581 |pubmedCID= |DOI= |date=1994-02-07 |accessdate=2025-03-25}}</ref> See [[care of intact, foreskinned boys]] for more information.
