The baby pictured above contracted herpes after being kissed by a visitor according to First Doctor. This explains why healthcare experts and pediatricians advise first-time parents of newborns to exercise caution when it comes to letting people kiss their baby on the lips or face, even if it's just a peck.

The reasoning behind this precaution is based on the vulnerability of a baby's immune system during the early stages of life.

Delicate immune system: A newborn's immune system is still developing and is not as strong as that of adults. This makes them more susceptible to infections and illnesses.
Herpes risk: One of the primary concerns is the risk of herpes transmission. Herpes is a viral infection that can be contracted through direct contact with cold sores or oral herpes lesions. Babies can be infected with the herpes virus through a simple kiss, even if there are no visible symptoms on the kisser's lips.
Asymptomatic carriers: It's important to note that some people can carry the herpes virus without showing any symptoms. These individuals, known as asymptomatic carriers, may unknowingly spread the virus to others, including newborns.
Other infections: Aside from herpes, there are various other infections and illnesses that can be transmitted through close contact and kissing. These can range from the common cold and flu to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and other contagious diseases.
Hand hygiene: In addition to discouraging kissing on the lips or face, it's crucial for everyone handling the baby to maintain good hand hygiene. Washing hands thoroughly with soap and water or using hand sanitizer before touching the baby can help reduce the risk of infection.
Boundaries and communication: As a new parent, it's essential to set boundaries politely with family and friends to ensure they understand your wishes for the baby's health and safety. Educating others about the reasons behind these precautions can foster a supportive environment.
Love and affection: While avoiding lip and face kisses, it's important to remember that there are plenty of other ways to show love and affection to the baby. Gentle touches, cuddles, and hugs are all safe ways to bond with the newborn.


Ultimately, taking these precautions helps protect the health and well-being of the baby during its vulnerable stage of development. As the baby grows and their immune system becomes stronger, the risk of infections will naturally decrease. Until then, being cautious and prioritizing the baby's health is of utmost importance for new parents.

Jennyclay:
you lied my dear!! That’s the handwork of a pedophile cursed man
Women should never allow all these perverts, pedophile and nonsense men carry or kiss their baby .

Baby girl...is like you got a problem with men..from the way you coment on here...anyway if you ever find your way into Benin city...halla at me lets hang out...but one thing you must have in mind is that I live my life on the fast lane so you must tolerate me that day we are hangingout....i smoke weed, drink alcohol, bang pussy and keyboarding and I drive my car on a fast and Furious mode in Benin city

How did they confirm it was the visitor's kiss?

What a pity

Can’t believe this

Hmm

Ok

Jesus

New born babies should be kept in a safe and enclosed bed. Only trusted families and friends should be allowed to carry them.

It's very wrong to give your baby to just anyone to kiss and cuddle. Maybe when they're old enough, you can lower your guard. But from 0-6 months, it's your responsibility as a parent to keep them safe.

I wish that child speedy recovery.

So sad

Oh my God. God will so punish that visitor, you carry virus go give small pikin. God punish you.

ladies and their numerous infections must have infected the poor child

Disgusting adults putting their mouths where it doesn't belong, then putting the disgusting mouth on an innocent baby. Tueh!

What will destroy this perverse generation is still cooking, I swear!
What a disgusting generation!

after using same mouth to suck community kpekus, they'll still get mind kiss innocent child, see the result nah

Don't allow strangers, friends or family to touch your new born baby, it's very bad

On a side note
It is generally not a good idea to kiss babies you are not directly related to. I see it as a rude behaviour. Carrying the baby in your arms is enough.
Why kiss? Are you Judas?
