Safe to kiss children on mouth?

Question

Is it ever

Answer 1

no. people may say yes. but it's not safe. I forgot why, but it's not.

Answer 2

It's as safe to kiss children on the mouth as it is to kiss anyone else on the mouth. Kids get and receive infections just like the rest of us do. (Think about this, too - they are far more likely to chew the gum from under the desk than someone grown is - LOL)

If I feel compelled to kiss one, I aim for the cheek or the top of the head, whichever looks cleaner. LOL  

Answer 3

As long as they don't have snot on their lips......

Answer 4

I wouldn't have anyone kiss my son on the mouth who is NOT our immediate family member, or at least grandmother (diseases or no).  It seems inappropriate.
