My DD has just been diagnosed with chickenpox. She started with a rash at the side of her mouyth about 2 weeks ago _ I thought it waas dummy/heat rash but it has now spread to her cheeks and torso. Dr diagnoseed it today. My newbie is only 8 days old. I am bf and ff him and have had chickenpox in childhood. I am really worried about him getting it now and what to do of he does. Dr siad there is nothing they can do about it. I know to keep him cool with tepid bath etc but anyone got any experience or advice for me? Can I give him anything if I need to?
Off to bed now - sleep deprived but will checktomorrow.
Thanks in advance.
