retracted? New Posts  All Forums:Forum Nav:  Do you think my
newborn was retracted?  post #1 of 2 Thread Starter   My last
two boys are intact, and were born at home.   My newest little
guy came early, at 29 weeks.   He was born in the hospital and
spent time in the NICU.  It was heart-breaking, and I was not
able to be there every second due to having other children at
home that needed to see me too.   My baby would be about a month
old now, if he had been born on his due date.  As is it, he is
about 3.5 months old.   I noticed last night that his foreskin
very easily retracts so that I can see at least half of his
glands.   Is this normal for a newborn?  Or do you think they
retracted him in the hospital?   Should I be concerned about
adhesions?   What about scarring?   What should I do about his
care at this point?   Thank you so much.  post #2 of 2  Since
