Kissing a baby on the lips of face even if it’s just a peck can be very dangerous to the baby’s health.

VerseNews Nigeria gathered that a baby’s immune system is not as strong as that of adults, so they can easily come down with infections like herpes.

Herpes simplex virus is one of the diseases that can be passed to a baby through a cold sore if a person that has it kisses the baby.

It can also spread to your baby if you have a herpes blister on your breast and feed your baby with the affected breast or expressed breast milk from the affected breast.
