Chicken pox

[mumpip]

There is an outbreak in DS1's nursery (he is 2). I am worried about him passing it on to DS2 (7 weeks. Should I keep him off nursery and if so, for how long?

If it is already going round you are probably too late. If you have had it and are breast feeding then baby should get your immunity and be fine - DS1 had cp when DS2 was a similar age. DS2 seemed to get a couple of spots and was fine, so not sure whether he has had it or not.

Hope you miss it!

Thanks, I have had it and am exclusively BF so fingers crossed!

Twas miserable though - DS1 lolling about all, spotty, itchy and hot and DS2 breastfeeding virtually constantly. Was hard work! Good luck - I hope it has passed you on by.

its everywhere atm isnt it! DD has it and all the boards have different cp threads it really is about
