Herpes Transmission in Babies: Risks & Prevention

Herpes spreads via direct contact with sores or infected bodily fluids (saliva, blood). Theoretically, a contaminated bottle could transmit the virus, but this is rare as the virus survives poorly outside the body.

Prevention

  • Wash hands frequently.
  • Avoid contact with active sores.
  • Do not share personal items (bottles, utensils).
