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).
