FIL has today been diagnosed as having shingles, doc thinks he has probably had it for a week and a half. My DS is 3 weeks old today and has been in contact with FIL on a few occasions, what are the risks of him getting chicken pox?
I'm mostly formula feeding him with a small amount of breastmilk which I have frozen and stocked up the freezer with. Is it worth switching him to the breastmilk to help build up antibodies or is it too late for that now?
