Chicken pox more than once?

[NellyTheElephant]

All three of my children had chicken pox 5 yrs ago. All v badly (DD1 in hospital for over a week but that's another story), so you'd think I know what it looks like.... I noticed this evening that DS has 9 spots that look suspiciously like CP and there was a boy in his class who had it a little while back (definitely within the right incubation period), the thing is though that DS was COVERED in spots last time, I mean full on can hardly see any normal skin (just been looking back at photos). Can he really have it again? He was just under a year old last time (by a few weeks) and I know they do say they can have it again if they were under a year, but is it likely? Anyone with any experience? I really don't have time for this!

I doi remember being told it is possible to catch it more than once, and I just googled, finding this page from the NHS site.

Hope this helps.

I think if they have it under 1, they are at risk of catching it again. My niece unfortunately got it at 10mths and again at 3.
