Babies get cold sores because of their low immune system. Almost every person will get exposed the the herpes simplex virus (its VERY common) in their early childhood. 80% of the population will get a cold sore in their life time, more likely the younger they are. however only some will have frequent outbreaks. Most likey they got exposed at school or from other young children. Although many people are judgmental about herpes type 1, its common and some people have it and don't know it.
