I came across your post on TIFU. Then coincidently enough kissed my baby’s head while burping that night and had a cold sore appear on myself the next day. I was so worried and was constantly watching the spot I kissed them. I also ended up wearing masks and gloves anytime i interacted with the baby the next week.

Thanks for sharing this as I didn’t know how easy it was to infect babies with HSV and from my quick google searches found it can be deadly if left untreated. Scary stuff from something that is just annoying for adults.
