DS1 (2.5) has chickenpox
When I realised he had it, I called SIL to tell her, as we'd been at her house with her DS and DD when my DS1 might have been infectious. Luckily, neither of them have caught it.
The thing is, DS1 was bf from birth for a year. His cousin was ff from birth. He has been at nursery 3 days a week since he was 9 months, during which time chickenpox has made several visits but he has never caught it .
Don't get me wrong, I'm certainly NOT wishing chickenpox on my nephew - he is a honey. Nor am I wishing it on anyone, in fact. Just sort of wishing it OFF my DS1, I suppose. Nor am I making any kind of point about feeding methods or childcare or thumping any sort of tub!
Just feel a bit peeved that all that purported immunity from bf'ing doesn't seem to have happened.
Grr. Argh.

AIBU?
to think that all that bf'ing ought to count for something in terms of immunity?
