I am a girl

Yes, believe it or not I am a girl. Raised in an all girl family by a single mom. The only knowledge I have of boy parts comes from a childhood of living on a farm and what little I've gained in my adventurous adult life. Which is to say I am woefully uneducated when it comes to human male reproductive parts. But now that I have a son I am learning quickly about the penis (testicles pretty much take care of themselves).
So, for all you other newbie boy moms out there I will tell you a short story followed by some advise backed by a website full of honest facts by people who know.
I took my son to his 2 week check up today and asked my pediatrician about penis care- mainly uncircumcised penis care. We opted not to get Jr clipped feeling that God put that skin there for a reason, why mess with a good thing. So here I am asking for this medical professionals advise on the proper care of this tiny human's reproductive future. She tells me that we should be pulling the skin back at every change to help the skin separate from the head. That advise sounded opposite of what other mom's I know have told me. So, I looked it up when I got home. Sure enough. It was NOT the right advise.
FYI: you are NEVER supposed to pull the foreskin back from the penis forcibly at anytime. The skin will separate and retract on its own around the age of 5, but sometimes taking as long as until your son reaches puberty. Seriously.
This website is from the American Academy of Pediatrics: http://www.healthychildren.org/English/ages-stages/baby/bathing-skin-care/Pages/Care-for-an-Uncircumcised-Penis.aspx?nfstatus=401&nftoken=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000&nfstatusdescription=ERROR%3a+No+local+token&nfstatus=401&nftoken=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000&nfstatusdescription=ERROR%3a+No+local+token

And there are several others, including the Mayo clinic, that support the "don't pull it" rule. This also includes most of Europe, where circumcision is NOT routine!
