As a circumcised man how could I help my son through any problems he's experiencing, pain, odor, whatever, if I haven't gone through them myself? I looked through the link Troutman posted earlier regarding hygiene and was surprised at all the things I just don't worry about. Not enough washing = bad. Excessive washing = bad. Making sure your physician doesn't retract the foreskin before it's damn well good and ready. All this stuff is a mystery to me.

Honestly, it's like anything you don't know - you look it up, ask a professional, talk to other parents about it, etc. It's not an insurmountable challenge; it's just washing And there's a lot of trial and error in parenting too - something isn't working out right because you don't fully get it, you figure out what went wrong and change what you do going forward.
