I feel for the mother here... What a horrific thing to happen to a new mother.

Original story is here.

Baby dies from mum's kiss

A NEWBORN baby died from her mother's kiss. Jennifer Schofield, who was just 11 days old, became accidentally infected after her mum Ruth developed a cold sore during pregnancy.

The virus attacked the baby's major organs and killed her, an inquest at Lancaster heard.

Jennifer became ill after Ruth, 35, infected her with the herpes simplex virus by kissing and breast feeding her. The devastated mum, from Lancaster, told of her heartbreak after the loss of such a "beautiful life".

The inquest found Jennifer had died from the virus, which her mum had probably caught during the late stages of her pregnancy.

How utterly nightmarish and shocking. That poor woman. That's never going to leave her, either. Considering kissing and breastfeeding likely transferred the virus, she probably blames herself. I hope not. How heartbreaking.

That's horrible o.o;

It makes me think though. I've gotten cold sores ever since I was a baby and nobody in my family gets them, so it wasn't through contact. Was I lucky to have lived?

That's nerve racking.

I just can't imagine that...

That poor woman! I cant even imagine what she went through (and is still going through). The baby was healthy and then this? That is heart wrenching. I feel for her and the doctors should have told her the risks (however small they might have been) of coming into contact with the baby. Heinz sight is always 20-20.
