Moms, Don't give your babies cavities or fever blisters

Cassie Minor started this conversation

Moms you can do one thing to significantly decrease your child's odds of getting cavitites or fever blisters: Don't kiss your baby (or child) on the mouth.

Babies are not born with the bacteria that cause cavities in their mouths. Nor are they born with the virus (Herpes Simplex II) that causes fever blisters. Where do most people get these terrible bacteria or viruses? Mommy.

Let me encourage Moms, Dads and Grandparents not to kiss babies on the mouth nor share beverages or food. These are ways we GIVE these infections.

Such a simple step, but a big difference.

Actually just to clear things up it's Herpes Simplex I that causes fever blisters on your childs lips. Herpes Simplex II causes genital herpes
