Friends have invited me for Sunday lunch at their house, but one of them has a coldsore.

I didn't realise that the herpes virus can actually kill a baby until the sad news recently about the baby who died because their mum kissed them with a coldsore.

I've said I'm not going with my 12 week old. They think I'm being hilariously PFB and over protective. They pointed out that the herpes virus isn't airborn, and they have promised not to kiss the baby.

I think it's best to err on the side of caution, when if you get it wrong the consequences could be so dire.

AIBU?

TIA

As the OP's baby is at secondary school by now, she probably doesn't need any more advice on this one so we're going to close this thread now. Smile
