Moms of uncirc'ed boys

When is the penis supposed to fit through the foreskin? I plan on asking DR at our next appt in March, but was wondering if any of you know.

EMT

Pedi told us it could take awhile and sometimes it doesn't happen until they are teens.

I was worried because my MIL told us they had to stretch BIL's because it didn't go through. Interesting.

Noooooooooooo - you DON'T do this, this can cause huge problems.  Leave it alone!  Foreskin doesn't start to retract for a LONG time - pp is right - sometimes not until they are teens.  Only something like 50 percent of ten  year olds can fully retract their foreskin - this is fine and NORMAL. 

?...foreskin retraction should NEVER be forced. Until separation occurs, do NOT try to pull the foreskin back ? especially an infant's. Forcing the foreskin to retract before it is ready may severely harm the penis and cause pain, bleeding and tears in the skin.
