DS (3 yo) just developed chicken pox. Am worried about DD getting it but have been given conflicting advice about whether she still holds my immunity at 8 weeks old or whether exclusive bf keeps her safe. If she does get it I can't see that I can give her any meds etc to help with the symptoms as she is too young. Any advice gratefully received. We haven't had a good run of it with bugs and germs since she arrived (DS at nursery) and both she and I could do without chicken pox on top of everything else!
