Accepted Answer

Always wash your hands before handling the baby and use a mask to avoid kissing or contact with saliva. It’s better to avoid kissing the baby and first recover completely and follow your doctor advice

Accepted Answer

I think it is better to avoid sometimes you don’t realise but you know these things are not healthy in gender also now you are talking about some problem which has happened when we talk about general terms also the doctors don’t recommend you are advised to kiss on the face you don’t realise when you transmit your infections and germs to the child with that
