Ds was 2 weeks. He obviously harboured it while dd was covered in the spots.

it was just over 2 weeks for ds to get them after dd (the incubation period is around 10-21 days)

About 2 weeks with my two. ds1 very badly scarred from infected spots so keep a close eye on dd2 and get antibiotics at the first sign of infection.
