My DS2 (just three weeks old) was exposed to chicken pox a few days ago. A friend's toddler came down with it the day after visiting and kissing the baby.
My DS1 also kissed the other toddler but he has had CP so hoping he will avoid another dose.
But what about DS2? I am breastfeeding but do I need to tell doctor/health visitor? Or just wait and see? Is there anything I should avoid doing like seeing other children or not?
Sorry, a bit sleep deprived and clueless. And dreading my very small baby getting CP....come with your useful words of advice....
