Amanda im not sure of the reason 100% but i was akways warned in hospital after i had Chelsea to never kiss a baby on the lips.

Reasons i can think of would be cold sores...you may not be aware you have one/have one coming up and by kissing a baby your spreading the herpes virus to bub. There was a news article on here actually where a baby died from a single kiss from the mother, the baby girl was 11 days old.

Another one that i always thought was a myth but appears isnt, is kissing a baby can cause problems with teeth later on.

I reason the main idea of not kissing on the lips is that germs spread the most that way (via saliva) when bubs licks their lips.

We love our babies and it is natural to show them this love and affection. However, kissing babies on the mouth is harmful to their dental health.
Sorry i cant give you a proper answer but ive just avoided it at all costs and for health sake.
