Nothing: There is minimal chance YOU could spread this germ to your baby & hand washing should remove even the most remote risk. Your statement does not list babies age or whether the mom has or had genital warts. Babies exposed to genital warts during a vaginal delivery can acquire the germ. It may stay hidden for months and arise as genital or vocal cord warts up to 2 yrs later.
