What can happen if you kiss your baby on the lips, according to science

It may be almost impossible to resist loving your children, but kissing them on the lips isn't the healthiest way to show how much they mean to you. In addition to affecting their understanding of personal boundaries, it can pose several health risks.
It can touch their gums
Kissing your children on the lips before baby teeth develop can be particularly harmful. The transfer of saliva causes the spread of bacteria which can affect your child's soft tissues and gums. Children can develop gum disease due to poor oral hygiene, and kissing your child on the mouth can be an additional risk factor.
It can give them cavities
Cavities are the most common chronic disease in children and adults, and kissing your children on the lips can increase their chances of developing the condition. Baby teeth are not as strong as adult teeth, which makes them more vulnerable to bacteria. Because baby tooth enamel is relatively thin, it is more prone to cavities and decay.
May cause allergies
In addition to causing dental problems, kissing a child on the lips can cause allergic reactions. This can be especially harmful to newborn babies. When you kiss someone, you are unconsciously transferring food particles or cosmetic products to their skin. And your newborn may be allergic to certain foods or artificial ingredients in skin care products.
