Can I kiss my baby on the face?

When a baby is just born, its face is very clean and cute, so some parents can't help but want to kiss it. Even relatives and friends will kiss it from time to time, and the baby will cooperate with this intimate action. However, the baby's skin is very delicate and has very poor resistance to viruses and bacteria, so it may affect its health. So, can you kiss the baby's face?

First, can you kiss your baby on the face? It’s best not to kiss, as it may cause kissing sickness. Few people wonder why there is such a disease. Kissing disease is an acute, self-limiting infectious disease caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. Kissing disease is transmitted through saliva and can be infected through mouth-to-mouth feeding. EB virus infection can occur all year round, but it is more common in autumn and winter. This BE virus will remain on the baby's face and cause infection. Since babies have relatively poor resistance, this infection may have a serious impact on the baby, not only scaring you but also threatening the baby's life!

Second, mumps. Mumps is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by the mumps virus. The disease is mainly transmitted through droplets of nasopharyngeal secretions and is highly contagious. Especially for newborns with weak resistance, if the mumps virus exists in the saliva of adults, it is possible to transmit it to the child through saliva. The baby's skin is very delicate and has a lot of vascular tissue. If an adult kisses the child's face, it will hurt the child's parotid gland, which will make the child's face crooked when he grows up.

Third, the baby's facial skin is relatively thin and tender, and the parotid gland tissue in the mouth is underdeveloped and fragile, and is easily hurt. In addition, some people often touch the baby's little face, which helps to narrow the distance between themselves and the baby, but it also conveys bad information to the baby. However, this method should be done in moderation, otherwise it will hurt the baby's face.

Can you kiss your baby’s face? No, as it may cause your baby to suffer from oral mucosal diseases. Oral mucosal disease refers to a type of oral disease. Oral mucosal diseases mainly include recurrent oral ulcers, Behcet's disease, lichen planus and chronic pharyngitis. Although the clinical manifestations of oral mucosal diseases vary, the baby's skin tissue is relatively fragile. When we kiss the baby, it is easy to cause a certain impact on the baby's skin tissue and damage the baby's buccal fat pad, thereby affecting the baby's oral mucosa and causing this oral mucosal disease.
