Hi there, I'm having a panic as I can feel a cold sore coming on. My baby is 20 days old and ebf.
Am I able to touch him! Still bf? I know not to kiss him. There is such conflicting advice online and I'm so scared to pass the virus on as one website said it can be life threatening fir newborns.

Cover the sore and don't kiss him, wash your hands before you pick him up.
