Anyone with common sense should leave a newborn baby alone but people can be so stubborn. They want to hold the baby even when they are just coming from the market.Some even will kiss the baby.

..Thats where immunity takes control. Adults shld also use common sense in avoiding contacts....some wl even mouth kiss d baby

That is ehh, tht one irritates me so much. I dont know how some adults dont know that babies are so tender. Some will be touching baby's hands knowing fully well that they put these hands into their mouth. Na God dey save babies ooo.

okay noted.

I think we shouldn't freak out and make kids loose their immune boosters. A sick adult shouldn't handle a kid even the mum unless directed by a doctor. Are we going to be told that play grounds are bad next. That kid will come across a lot of people, why not start now.

when you have a baby all decisions you take must be based on what is good for the child ! Adults pass diseases to children ! And children have little or no immunity ! Tradition my foot!

So true. Some of them even kiss newborns . So wrong.

An infants immunity is different to a baby. so that's why babies shouldn't be round a lot of ppl

We can also say it boosts their immune systems. It's only through constant contact with bacteria that a body builds antibodies.

I had a particular case like this. Mother gave birth , two days she took the child to her father's burial. two days later, the child came down with a toxic kind of chicken pox, from head to toe, he was covered with it. It even affected his Pee-pee and caused the skin to slough off. We were praying that the Peepee does not fall off, thank God that the Glans has a different blood supply from the shaft. Took him a long while to recover. I was glad the day the were discharged
