This might sound so stupid… but everyone says not to kiss babies, can I kiss my own newborn baby?

Question

Genuinely curious!!

Answer

ive always kissed mine but i also dont have any herpes or things like that. when im sick i dont kiss my babies at all and try to keep my face away from theirs

Answer

I literally couldn’t stop kissing my son lol. Luckily I never got him sick 😬😂

Answer

Yes lol.

Answer

Absolutely! Lol. However, I did get a cold sore after my baby was born so I had to wait two weeks for it to heal, it was hell!

Answer

As long as you aren’t sick, sure!! If you even have the slightest cough or runny nose though I would definitely avoid any close facial contact with baby since their immune systems are so fragile the first several months of life. :)

Answer

I always kiss my babies, but if I feel like I’m getting a cold sore I’ll stop until I know what’s what. I also never kiss them on the lips to prevent cold sores or sickness.

Answer

I’ve always kissed my babies. I get cold sores so I’m very careful and know when they are coming on. Then I obviously won’t kiss any part of them. But when I’m cold sore free, I kiss their faces, head, lips. Free game!

Answer

I only do on the head and sometimes cheek but I don’t kiss the lips until they’re much older

Answer

I think the idea is not to spread germs to babe. I kissed my newborn just not on the face. I kissed his head and his hands. He didn’t get sick until he was 7 months old and started daycare.

Answer

I kiss the hell out of my baby. I make sure my mouth is clean but I will kiss her all over. She loves it and so do I.
