Newborn babies are very tender and sensitive. It is very natural for us to love them, but the way we love them must be safe.
Dr. Arun Kumar Singh
Many people want to hold, love and kiss newborn babies. Soft skin, baby's small hands, cheeks, and glowing face are attractive to everyone. Most parents kiss their babies on the cheeks, forehead, and lips. Mothers try to make their babies feel warm by hugging them to their chests. This behavior is a normal way to love. Can frequent kissing of babies pose serious health risks? are more susceptible to infection. In this case, the disease is more likely to be transmitted to the baby. This causes respiratory problems, especially in young children. Because of this, the baby can get diseases such as pneumonia and bronchiolitis. It is possible to transmit this virus through saliva. Hepatitis B is a serious disease that affects the liver.
Herpes virus
When a person with a sore or 'cold sore' around the lips kisses an infant, the herpes virus can be transmitted. Herpes infection in newborns can be serious and sometimes "herpes encephalitis" can affect the brain, and can endanger the body itself. Clean your hands before kissing and avoid kissing your baby if you have any kind of infection (cold, herpes, etc.).
Newborns are very tender and sensitive, but that carelessness can cause serious health problems.
