2-3 years is common, but it can happen
later, so don't panic if it's not
retracted by 3 yrs. It'll happen before
puberty - or at the very latest, during
puberty. My son's was fully retracted
shortly after his 2nd birthday.
In fact, if your son's penis is kept
clean, don't do *anything* to the
foreskin! Dont let *anyone* retract it -
especially doctors, as lil_blaze found!!
Run the other way if a Dr. Or nurse says
you need to pull it back to "help" it
retract.
Let your son play with it all he wants and
it'll retract from his play and
explorations. It's all part of the
"master plan," lol. :d
important!
Instill good hygeine now - as his penis
retracts, have your son pull it back to
swich with water in the bath. He should
get in the habit now, and do this at every
shower/bath for the rest of his life.
