Would you let relatives or friends kiss your newborn on the mouth or cheek during a visit?

A recent news report says a newborn baby ended up in a life-threatening condition after being kissed — doctors warn that adult viruses, such as cold-sore herpes, can pose a serious risk to infants.

  • Yes, I would — I think this is an overreaction.
  • Only a hug or handshake, no kissing.
  • No, I'd ask them not to, for health reasons.
  • It depends who it is: close family yes, others no.
