Did I give my baby Herpes

[tamera27]

Hello, my question is my baby is almost two weeks old and I didn't know that I had an active cold sore and I kissed my baby around his face and left eye.  I think a little of my saliva touched around his eye from licking my lips.  Realized a couple of hours later I had a cold sore.  Could I had given him the virus.  Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's fairly low risk from the brief kisses you give a baby.  If your baby runs a fever within the next 2-3 weeks follow up with your pediatrician or if the baby gets a rash near his eye or he acts otherwise ill.  The risk is small. If you are breast feeding you are still transmitting protective antibodies to the baby too which is always a good thing.
