I posted this on 6-12 also.... 

My ds has spent the whole morning grabbing at his diaper, and when I was bathing him, his hand was attached to his little peep.  Is this normal for his age?  He is circumcised, so I am hoping he doesn't have adhesion issues... Dh fears that he is "hurting his manhood", lol!

thanks.

Mine started doing that at that age and it is perfectly normal.  Still to this day everytime he gets in the bath he seems to play with it a little.  I know that sounds bad but he is a normal healthy kid!

Also, I think they are just learning about there bodies, very curious!

He discovered it really early (like 4 months) and goes through phases where he's always grabbing at it when I'm changing him or he's bathing. ?Then he'll forget it exists for awhile.

I think it's very normal.?

I think my older son discovered his around the same age.  I have an ultrasound pic of Gabriel with his hand on his lol.

ditto mlf.

 

The part I hate is when he's in a phase and poopy. Nothing like reaching down and smearing his hand in poo.

My DS discovered his penis around that age as well.  He hasn't stopped playing with it since.  Their fascination with their manhood starts very early.  lol!

J5 doesn't seem to have "found himself" yet, but he's the only one of his friends who hasn't.

Umm, Leo has been obsessed with his weenie since the tender age of 4 months. The diaper isn't off for 10 seconds before he's grabbing that thing. Guess he takes after his father, LOL.

**Sissy**

This. I think Y does it for stress relief, too!  He stopped crying last week when he found it during a diaper change.  I didn't know what to do; let him continue or continue changing him.  Bizarre.

My DS has gone through phases where he grabs himself every once in awhile, but he's never done it a lot.  He's done it on and off since about 4 or 5 months.  I think its very normal, nothing to worry about.

Funny you ask...K never seemed to notice his much before, but I got that blinky buzzy musical toy as a special changing table toy on someone here's recommendation, and today during a diaper change he dropped it down and seemed to discover the vibration on his peep was a very good thing. ?;-) ?I sense things to come.
