     If your baby boy's penis is circumcised, clean his genital area gently while giving him bath. Don’t use any soap for cleaning, just wash with your fingers with water.
     
     If your baby's penis head (glans) still has foreskin, you should clean only the outside of the foreskin for first few years. Use only water while cleaning.
     
     It’s normal for a milky white substance (called smegma) to ooze out or collect on the penis head after urination. This is nothing but the dead skin cells and it is a completely natural secretion. Wash it off with just water.
