If anything, as long as your healthy, kissing a baby would help the babies immune system.

Babies immune systems are basically undeveloped when they first come out, that's why children get sick so much. They have to get sick in order to "jump start" their immune system. Eventually their immune system starts to take over and takes care of the sickness before it affects their body.

So, a healthy person that kisses a baby's cheek or whatnot, will expose the baby to things that they haven't been exposed to before. As long as those things don't harm the baby (that's why the person should be healthy)
But, since the baby is being exposed to new thigns, their immune system will get used to handling those new things for the future.

Ok, sorry for the incredubly long and borring answer to a simple question. :)

It doesnt if you arent sick. If you are sick then it'll probably harm them a little bit.

i highly doubt it, as long as you dont kiss it with open mouth, and i wouldnt on the lips at that young, or on the eyes. but i dont think other than that it would be a problem, just make sure that your face and hands are clean when you touch the baby! they need to know you love them! :)
