No idea about the "ballooning," but as for the pull the 'skin back at any time I'd say no. I still have nightmares of my mother approaching me washcloth in hand after baths to drag back the 'skin to give it a good scrub.
The skin will pull back on its own in good time.
(This link's about cleaning, but it deals with foreskin manipulation in general.)

In newborns, the skin of the foreskin is inseparable from the skin covering the glans at the end of the penis. It almost always loosens by itself by about 4 yrs-old and there is absolutely no need to interfere in this natural process.
