Toddler cold sore and newborn

0 replies

My toddler has what looks like a cold sore - the GP says it’s either this or impetigo, most likely impetigo. What do you think?

we have a 2 week old baby and are panicking that the virus will be passed on to her as it can be very serious. I’ve never had cold sores so my breast milk contains no antibodies.

Has anyone been in this position? We are parenting in silos and I’m not touching my toddler at all. I really miss him and he can’t understand why I’m not around. If you’ve been in this position what did you do?
