Aunt kissed baby on lips with cold sore

[Itswindy]

I am absolutely beside myself. She never kissed baby before, let alone on the mouth, I have no idea what the hell possessed her. It happened too quickly before I could do anything. Baby is 6 months, I feel so sick and upset. The cold sore was at the crusted over stage.

How bad is this? Is it a given that my baby will be infected? My beautiful perfect baby, I'm crying ;(

Who gives a shit about your Aunt's feelings?! Never let fear of upsetting someone else stop you from protecting your baby again.

@WTF475878237NC oh believe me I won't. I'm feeling so protective now, it has been the biggest lesson.

I have similar but my son is 5 months old and it was day 1 of an outbreak (unbeknown to anyone!) what happened with your babies?

I'm worried sick

Hi @Sade49 I know the feeling. Mine is over 2years old now and has never had any ill effects thankfully. Nothing to report! I'm sure your little one will be OK too, try to put it out of your mind, as hard as it is.
