Hi Patrick, You don't have to be a Mom to use easybabylife! It is lovely to get questions from fathers too and our question is a great one and one many parents are a bit shy about asking, so thank you! Babies are sexual and sensual creatures, it is perfectly normal for a baby boy to get an erection and little girls too, get sexually stimulated. It is totally innocent and shows your baby is gaining control of his body, in that he has figured out he can do certain movements that feel pretty nice! Some babies and children even rock or wriggle themselves off to sleep with these lovely feelings! As our little ones get a bit older we teach them that some activities are private and we prefer them not to do it in public. But your little boy is way too young yet. The most important thing is not to make him feel bad about his body and his responses. Parents that make a big fuss about it and say no, or smack hands away, or say yucky etc are teaching their children that their bodies and feelings are bad. Your little boy is perfectly normal and healthy and it is really good for him to kick without clothes on, as it develops the muscles better. If you are embarrassed when other people are around you can always distract him with toys and attention and games such as peepo etc. There will be so much to get his attention and for him to explore as he gets mobile, you needn't worry he would become obsessed with this lovely feeling he can create so innocently. Enjoy your lovely little boy, all the best, <a href="http://www.easybabylife.com/annie- desantis.html">Annie Desantis</a>
