Is this the beginning of chicken pix

[Whirliwig72]

Ds1 has been off colour for the last 24 hrs- temps of 38 - 39 plus runny nose and sneezing. No spots yet but complaining of sore mouth. There's an outbreak of chicken pox in the area and I'm wondering if this is the beginning - is it normal to have a few days run in before the spots? Another reason I'm suspecting this us that the baby and I have no symptoms. I have immunity having had it as a child and the baby is ebf.

Pox even

my dd had chicken pox a couple of weeks ago, we too had sore throat and a bit of a temp for almost a week before the spots appeared.....its around 10-14 days before the symptoms appear after catching the virus so baby may develop it around a week later (if it is chicken pox) the spots develop over a period of 5 -10 days...hope he feels better soon

Cor Fashion that's one lovely bird !

Thank you Net - I was hoping baby might be immune through my breast milk is this not the case ? I don't think I'll be able to cope with two spotty unhappy children please kill me now!

sorry yes bf babies are less likely to get chicken pox when exposed to it if mum has had them, some just get a very mild case....didnt mean to get you :( x
