According to the beliefs of many, kissing newborns is a gesture of love and affection, especially in rare families where expressing affection through kisses is more pronounced. Whether it’s kissing the cheeks, forehead, hands, feet, hair, or even the baby’s mouth.

However, reality shows that kissing newborns is not as beneficial as commonly thought. The delicate skin of a newborn can be allergic to such actions, and if the person kissing the baby has any respiratory-related illnesses, it can immediately transmit to the baby through the kiss. To minimize potential risks, mothers should tactfully decline kisses, especially from strangers, and limit the baby’s exposure to crowded places.
