New Mother Learns the Hard Way Why You Should Never Kiss Your Newborn Baby

You might think there’s nothing wrong if you want to kiss your newborn baby. Sadly, this isn’t the case. When Lucy Kendall’s beautiful little newborn baby first made his entrance into the world, he was absolutely perfect.

She looked forward to spending the next few months cuddling and caring for him. But things didn’t go as planned, as the tiny baby quickly grew ill with a completely preventable but deadly disease. So what was the culprit for his sickness? A wayward kiss from one of Kendall’s friends.

If you ever spend any time around new babies, it’s important to know just why you shouldn’t kiss them, and what can go wrong with a tiny immune system if you’re not very careful.

A Child Is Born

Oliver Kendall was born to his parents, Lucy and Jaz, in August of 2018. The tiny newborn was absolutely perfect and in good health upon discharge from hospital, and his family was thrilled.

The tiny baby Oliver was absolutely adorable, and his mommy and daddy spent many hours caring for him. They were so excited to have their child, but they didn’t yet realize what heartbreak was on the horizon.

A Peaceful Sleeper

Oliver did everything that babies should do. He enjoyed his milk, slept well, and began to get accustomed to life. Unfortunately, though, he was still very small, and very weak, when someone brought germs into his home.

Cuddles With Daddy

Oliver spent plenty of time snuggled with his parents, which was absolutely fine. This helped his immune system to develop, as it allowed him a safe space to grow acclimated to the germs and bugs that we all carry on our skin.
