Brain Injured by a Kiss (The Danger of Kissing a Baby)

Breelynn was born a healthy baby but was kissed by a person with a cold sore as an infant. Since her immune system was not developed, this infection attacked her brain and left her with a severe traumatic brain injury. Now 8 years old, Breelynn is unable to walk or talk and is not expected to live into adulthood. Breelynn's family wants others to know that there is real danger in kissing a baby, especially on the mouth.

Nothing boils my blood more than ignorant family members who refuse to respect the boundaries you set for your newborn. I have a 5.5 month old and haven't allowed certain family members to see him for a few months after they decided to ignore my requests. This is exactly the reason why parents take precautions. Why is it so difficult for people to accept?

People need to use the ears and listen to when someone says don't kiss the baby, it's usually the cheeky old people who dont listen. I'm sure they very much regret it now. I hope in future we can learn to listen to each other and especially if the parent says don't kiss the baby.

In spite of the ignorance and disrespect (at best), I'm glad you're standing by your baby and their health. Family should be way more considerate (coming from someone w/ a family that tends to cross lines). I'm sure it's quite challenging, but i'm really glad he has you on his team.

HSV is one issue, but also a lot of adults haven't had a pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine in a long time and can pass that too while having few or no symptoms. Very young babies are fragile and really nobody but the parents and pediatrician should be handling them extensively. Once they grow a bit, get a few of their vaccines, and more exposure to the environment it's less of an issue but too many people have boundary issues and a feeling of entitlement about babies. Yeah they're cute, but maybe don't get all up in their faces. And maybe get that TDAP shot updated if you're gonna be around babies...

Exposure to the breast/nipple and consuming human milk poses a risk the baby will contract herpes encephalitis as well. Bottles can be sterilized in the dishwasher, the breast can't. Also commercial formula is pasteurized and breastmilk is not. Even if the risk is small, the sacrifice is small too. You can't be too careful..

the fact that he goes out of his way to connect with and befriend these children is incredibly touching, yet heart-wrenching to me. my whole life, I was treated differently for my mental disabilities, especially by those older than me. I never could truly connect with an adult or have an older figure I looked up to, and I would constantly be undermined/talked down to. even as a teenager, I faced constant belittling and underestimation from those around me, and it's so wonderful to see this man treat these disabled children as humans equal to him. truly beautiful and inspiring, while also heartbreaking. i wish more people treated me like this as a child. props to the mother, also. she's so patient and understanding of the girls means of communication and expressing herself. she seems so caring and supportive of her daughters disabilities, and not only that, but she's so affectionate and sweet!! more parents need to be able to empathize and communicate with their children like this, regardless of disability.

I was 37 years old when someone kissed me who was infected with herpes simplex virus. It was the day before their cold sore erupted so nothing even showed at that point and neither of us realised there was even a risk. I was very ill for three weeks with cold sores in my mouth and throat and all up one side of my face. It nearly went to my eye which could have caused blindness. It was horrendous. I can’t even imagine how that would be for a newborn! The fact is that you could be kissing a newborn when you have no obvious symptoms, not knowing that you pose a real danger.

I agree that setting boundaries is important, but it is difficult to know what to mention because this seems like the kind of thing no one expects to happen. I had never heard about this no kissing rule until this episode, and kissing people on the mouth is something I just don't expect anyone to do unless they're dating (so definitely not babies).

@@nightyew2160 I've seen a few adults in real life kiss children on the lips, and it always makes me feel icky even though it's supposedly just the adult being affectionate - not just because it kinda looks wrong, but children's immune systems aren't as developed and it's a *great* way of passing germs and stuff on that might overwhelm a child, case in point like the video (and vice versa, but kids are def more vulnerable to it than the adults).

Yes, I really don't understand why new parents do groceries with a newborn. I would be afraid that the baby will get sick quickly, even when it is a simple cold. At least one parent should stay home with the new born.

Jes in turkey and many other asian (balkan) cultures there is a thing with the 40 day rules. Its like an old superstition/habit but maybe also has Religios roots. For example baby and mom shouldnt leave the house for 40 days. Im not completly sure but the first bath for baby should also be at 40 days (with mom). And when someone dies the 7. 40. And 52 days are believed to be special especially the 40. Where a special ceremonie like thing Takes place where prayers are done And so on..

@MELLO_666 This may be religious, but it makes a lot of logical sense scientifically. There's other cultures where they take the bond between a newborn and a mother at the beginning more seriously than here in the US. I wish we would adapt some of these aspects into this our culture.

@AnaCarolina23y 4 ай бұрын

I'm 24 with no kids yet, and I totally agree! I find this culture of showing off the newborn like a trophy totally bizarre. When my cousin was born he was held by dozens of people, some even played with his mouth with their dirty fingers (didnt even sanitize their hands!!) It's insane. the baby should be protected and bond with the mother the first month of their life. people have plenty of time to visit the baby later

Especially after seeing this video I will definitly be more aware of this. I mean I dont kiss babys and also only handle them after desinfekting/washing my hands..also who would kiss the baby on the mouth? Maybe the mother is the only one who would do that but other then her I dont find it appropriate and would feel very uncomfortable seeing this. This beautiful Angel was Born healthy and now unfortunately have to live with this illniss I know the person who Kissed her wouldnt imagine something like this to happen, I also feel for her/him..its very sad

PSA- if you ever get cold sores, you shouldn’t be kissing babies anywhere, especially on the face. It can cause blindness if the infection gets in the eyes, and even if you kiss arms, hands etc the baby can still wipe your saliva with the virus onto their face. Also you don’t have to have an active coldsore to be shedding the virus in your saliva!

@Roaming725 4 ай бұрын

I think it's a bit extreme to say anybody who gets cold sores ever should never kiss babies at all. Certainly, kissing a newborn, especially on the lips, should be avoided. I don't understand the mind of the person who caused her disability and I am glad I'm not overreacting when I cancel plans if there's even a chance I might accidentally spread it.

@nattykitkatty 4 ай бұрын

@@Roaming725It's not extreme to say at all. HSV has no cure and doesn't ever leave the body once you have it, so if you have ever had a cold sore ONCE in your life, you have HSV and the potential to spread it. It's not really anything to be ashamed of, though, most people have it. But yeah, don't kiss babies.

The ones that there is a computerised voice that is activated when she looks at a certain word/object. I think she’s a bright little bunny and would really enjoy having a conversation, saying I love you or being able to tell them if she’s in pain or feeling unwell. Maybe Chris could start a fundraiser for one. She’s a beautiful little girl with a wonderful family. Xx❤❤
