unfortunately yes. shingles is caused by the herpes virus. the same virus that causes fever blisters/cold sores chicken pox and herpes stomatitis (a herpes infection inside the mouth). i do not know where you have the shingles but if it is an area that is covered by clothing this will help prevent the spread to your baby. you will need to keep your hands very very clean. please call your baby's pediatrician for more patient-specific advice.
i have shingles is my 2 month old baby at risk?
