Can a baby with herpes spread through bottle?

Herpes can spread through direct contact with the sores or through contact with bodily fluids, such as saliva or blood. Therefore, theoretically, a baby could contract herpes from a bottle if the bottle was contaminated with the virus. However, this is a rare occurrence, as the virus does not survive well outside the body. To prevent the spread of herpes, it is important to wash your hands frequently, avoid contact with people who have sores, and avoid sharing personal items, such as bottles.
