Question: Ok I'm sure I'm being a neurotic mum but is this normal!.!.!.!?
Ok, bit of a weird question, but aren't a baby's balls meant to just be loose sacs of skin!? Because when I was wiping my 5 month old boys bum I noticed he has a lump in his!.!.!. it is about a cm in diametre I'd say and floats around if you squeeze it!. It is almost as if one of his balls has dropped!. Is this a lump I should be worried about or is it just a gland or something!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Actually, I would be looking for the other one!. Most 5 month olds have had both testicles "dropped" by this point!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Don't worry, it's perfectly normal!. Babies come pretty much fully formed, with the exception of soft bones!. His balls do have testes in them - meaning there's more than just skin to them - his reproductive glands will grow as he gets older, but they are pretty much all there at this point!. He just can't get anyone pregnant yet!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I think it's ok!.!.!. next time you bring him to the doctor say you noticed that and didn't think that babies had that!.!.!. see what he says don't be embarrassed it's your baby!.!.!. plus doctors get weird questions all the time I think this one is cause for concern!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
