Washing a baby's genitals requires a soft and clean cloth, preferably a hypo-allergenic

A boy's penis should also be washed with soap and water, regardless of whether
the penis has been circumcised. The foreskin of a boy's uncircumsized penis
need not be pulled back during washing. A healing circumsized penis should be
protected with a piece of sterile gauze coated with an antibacterial ointment.
A newborn with a circumsized penis should not be tub bathed until the penis
is healed. Any signs of redness, swelling, pus or bleeding should be brought
to your doctor's attention.
For Son : How to Take Care Baby Penis?
For babies, it's best to avoid bubble baths, as they can be drying and irritating
to penile tissue. And when bathing your son, it isn't necessary to retract his
foreskin. Actually, you won't be able to for several months or even years -
it takes that long for the foreskin to separate from the penis. Even when the
foreskin has separated and can be retracted safely, the best advice is simply
to leave it alone. You may do more harm than good by interfering with its self-cleaning
mechanism.
If your baby has been circumcised, you need do little more than keep the penis
clean with soap and water as a part of normal bathing. For the first few days
after a circumcision, the penis may look quite red, and you may notice a yellowish
secretion. This is not a cause for alarm - both indicate that the penis is healing
normally. Though circumcision sites rarely get infected, signs of an infection
include persisting redness, a swollen penis tip, and crusted yellow sores which
contain fluid. If you notice any of these signs, call your doctor immediately.
For Daughter : How to Take Care Baby Vagina?
With a moist cloth, wipe the area from front to back to avoid transferring
any bacteria from her anus to her vagina. You may notice that her genitals are
swollen and red, or that she has a clear, white, or slightly bloody discharge
- these are all normal in the first few weeks and result from exposure to maternal
hormones during pregnancy. If these symptoms persist after the first six weeks,
though, mention them to the doctor at your baby's six-week check.
