How to clean and care for the sex organs of baby boys who have been circumcised is different from that of uncircumcised boys. Here is the explanation:

Uncircumcised baby penis

When bathing or changing diapers, gently wipe the baby's penis and scrotum to remove any adhering dirt. Use a clean cloth or cotton swab that has been moistened with water only, or with water mixed with baby soap.

The foreskin of an uncircumcised baby's penis is naturally attached to the head of the penis, and will only separate when the baby is 2-3 years old. You do not need to pull the foreskin when wiping or cleaning the penis, so that the penis is not injured by tearing the foreskin.

Circumcised baby penis

If the baby has been circumcised since birth, it means that the foreskin has been removed and cleaned. If your baby's penis looks red, swollen, and has a little yellowish discharge after the circumcision, there's no need to worry. This is a normal condition and is a sign of the wound healing process.

To clean it, just wash the penis with water slowly, especially a few days after circumcision. You do not need to rush to put on a diaper after cleaning his penis. Let the genital area get air to speed up the healing process.

You can also apply petroleum jelly on his penis to prevent friction when wearing a diaper. After the circumcision wound has healed, you can start cleaning your little one's penis with water that has been mixed with baby soap. When you want to put on a diaper, point his penis down to protect it from friction.

Every time you change a diaper or bathe a baby girl, clean her genitals from front to back (from the vagina to the anus). This is to prevent bacteria or dirt from the anus moving into the vagina.

Basically, a baby's vagina has the ability to clean itself. However, if there is dirt or feces that enters the baby's vaginal lips, you can clean it in the following ways:

  • Wash your hands before starting to clean his intimate organs.
  • Carefully open the lips of the baby's vagina.
  • Clean gently by wiping a clean soft cloth that has been dampened in water along the folds of the baby's intimate organs, from front to back.
  • Clean each side of the vaginal lips until completely clean and no dirt remains.

From birth to the first few weeks, your baby's vaginal area may appear swollen, red, and sometimes a white, clear, or slightly bloody discharge.

Don't worry, because this is normal because of the influence of the mother's hormones when the baby is still in the womb. This condition usually goes away on its own within a few weeks.

It is also important to remember that in caring for the baby's intimate organs, parents must routinely check the condition of the baby's diaper and replace it every time it is wet or dirty with feces. This is to keep the baby's skin dry, clean, healthy, and free from diaper rash. Avoid sprinkling baby powder or herbs on the little one's intimate organs.

If you are still confused about caring for the baby's intimate organs, don't hesitate to consult a doctor or nurse.
