@drgolly: @sophiehabboo is right! I’ll say it louder for the people in the back: Do NOT kiss a newborn. 🚫💋 I know how irresistible babies can be: those cheeks, that smell! But kissing a newborn can do more harm than good. Here’s why 👇 🦠 Cold sores (HSV-1) can be extremely dangerous to newborns 🤧 Viruses and bacteria spread easily through saliva 😷 Even a mild cold in an adult can be serious for a tiny baby The newborn bubble doesn’t need any of that. So if you’re visiting, stick to hugs, smiles, and gentle cuddles, but skip the kisses. And parents, feel free to blame me. Tell them your baby’s doctor said: “No kisses for now, it’s just not worth the risk.” Protecting your baby’s health is always the priority. 💙 Send this to people out visiting newborns... it's important info!! #DrGolly #Paediatrician #NewbornHealth #BabySafety #NoKisses

I’m due in 2 weeks and I’m not allowing any visitors for a couple of months, people are full of germs. I don’t want people so much as holding her never mind kissing her. I have 2 school age sons and pets, I already have my hands full making sure my house stays clean and disinfected, I’m not risking other people bringing their bacteria around my baby.

But as a parent can i kiss my own baby if i am not sick? Or will that expose them for bad bacteria they dont need as a newborn?
