Transmission of HSV2 to 7 month old

[scaredmomof321]

About four weeks ago, I had a herpes outbreak for the first time after giving birth to my now seven month old son.  I have been living with herpes for about 10 years now, and this outbreak was nothing out of the ordinary.  My concern is that I may have transmitted it to my son.  During this last outbreak, I was using the bathroom, and was "feeling around" down there to determine how bad the outbreak was in size.  At the same time, the baby woke up from a nap, and when my 5 year old went in to talk to him while I was finishing in the bathroom, she called for me to come in right away.  I am sure I did not wash my hands, as I went to see what was the matter right away.  The baby had pooped and it was EVERYWHERE!  I immediately (without thinking obviously) scooped him up and began changing his diaper.  It wasn't until I began spreading diaper rash cream all over his bottom that the thought occurred to me that I hadn't washed my hands after checking myself out just minutes prior.  I am very upset, as about a week after this occurred the baby had a few little red bumps in different places.  Two above his penis about an inch apart, a bump or two on his scrotum, and the most concerning, a patch of several tiny bumps on the side of the shaft of his penis (this is the most worrisome, because unlike the other bumps, this was a small cluster, looking suspiciously like herpes).  I have been watching and waiting, knowing that if this is a primary outbreak, it could last up to 3 weeks, so I've read.  However, I am also worried because since this is in the diaper area, could the lesions (if this is herpes) be taking this long to heal because they aren't able to dry out?  What are the odds that I transmitted herpes to my baby this way?  I know the chances are slim based on the other posts in this forum, but is it possible to non-sexually transmit herpes this way?  I am scared out of my mind and am not sleeping or eating.  Since there is no way to test children for HSV - what should I do at this point?  Please help.  I am having a hard time living with the idea that I may have transmitted this to my poor baby.

Hi, I hope everything turned out fine. I was looking through the archives tring to find the answer to a similar question and found this one. No one ever answered or followed up, so I wanted to ask what happened (if you don't mind).  Again, I hope everything turned out fine with your little one.
