First born kisses for newborn?

Do they go to nursery? Could be quite risky… maybe they kiss a teddy and the teddy kisses the baby or something x

Yeah, he does go to nursery. I have no idea how to make a toddler feel involved without the affection part! Maybe we'll kiss his feet and legs with the toddler around

Exact same age gap here. Maybe your son understands more than mine, but there’s no way my boy would comprehend things like that being a rule yet. I think we just sort of have to accept that they will pick up bugs from their older siblings regardless! The doctor told me that he’ll likely just end up with a robust immune system from it 🤷🏻‍♀️

He's got great understanding skills, and usually if he wants a kiss he presents his forehead rather than lips but when he wants to give a kiss it's of course mouth wide open 😂😂

My son is 4 and frequently kisses my tummy, but kisses for other people he gives on foreheads anyway and he asks for them on his forehead. He used to say "my mouth might get wiped after I eat things and the kisses rub off but noone wipes my forehead unless I'm really really messy"

I might try to discourage kisses on lips but not the head, the guidance for kisses generally says household only, and it's not like I'll wash my hands every single time I touch my first born before my newborn (unless doing something like wiping noses and obviously wiping his bum)

I won't have a problem with my daughter (2) kissing baby, maybe will try to encourage kisses on cheeks/ head but won't be too worried if she kisses on lips occasionally, I think it's important for her to bond with baby too 🥰 although she doesn't go to nursery so maybe I would feel a bit different if she did and was regularly picking up colds etc 🤷‍♀️😊 x
