My dd is 4 weeks old and thriving, I'm breastfeeding and she's putting on plenty of weight and nappies are regular, wet and dirty. Tonight my dh was cuddling and kissing her on the face (cheeks and head, not lips) and less than an hour later he asked where the Zovirax is as he's getting the coldsore tingle. I went a bit crazy at him saying he shouldn't have kissed her if he could feel a coldsore but obviously he wouldn't have if he had felt it sooner but he just didn't. I've never had a coldsore in my life so don't think I'd have any antibodies to give her even though I'm exclusively breastfeeding.
I'm now absolutely terrified for my dd! I've googled herpes symptoms but it's late at night now so she's floppy, sleepy and a little grunty anyway as she always is this time of night. I'm too scared to sleep!! Should I ring someone? I'm a first time mum, sleep deprived and paranoid anyway but I'm really scared of this virus. Any advice would be appreciated xx
