Just wipe the outside as you would wash your finger. Even gently retraction can cause trama. I have two intact boys and never had a problem! “For boys with foreskin, gently pull back the foreskin and clean gently”

Forcing it all the way or pulling roughly can cause pain and bleeding in a sensitive area. 2) Some doctors and hospitals are no longer recommending alcohol for the cord.

I was having some problems deciding how to get rid of the unflushable baby wipes. :) Just a couple of things: youre not supposed to pull back a newborns foreskin. You just gradually gently pull it only if it goes and wipe what you can see. You dont want a load of new parent trying to pull back a babys foreskin! Also the use of alcohol on the cord stump is under some debate - as the alcohol actually kills new cells, and apprently soapy water or even plain water do the job just as well. Thanks for the tips!

You can try to shield your face with the hand you're holding baby's legs with: hold baby's ankles in between your fingers, then when you lift the legs, use your palm to block the line of fire. This also blocks your field of view, so it only works if you don't need to do a lot of cleaning. In a month or two, you'll be able to test out all this advice for yourself! Best wishes to you and Sarah! I'm looking forward to meeting my niece when she arrives! Elaine Hi Eugene,

Isn't there a way to hold the baby's legs and shield yourself from the pee with one hand? That’s good advice.
