Chicken Pox

[nixrolz]

DS is nearly 6 months now. One of my friends children has chicken pox and I was wondering whether it was too early to try and expose DS to it. Even if I do, I will feel awful but needs must!!

Thoughts??

dont doit. he is far too young. it can have serious complications. it is a horrible illness. pls dont do it.

Cool - thanks for your advice. Won't do it...

good for you. sorry that sounded really bossy! he will get it in the normal course of life. i really wouldnt introduce him to it artificially. i love mumsnet- i have changed my view and actions on lots of things because of mumsnet!!

hee hee - it didn't sound bossy at all. I'm just so thankful that you took the time to reply to my thread!

I would consider it.

Complications are very rare.

DD was 7 weeks when she caught it, i took her to the doctor because everyone says you should when they are young babies, he looked at me like i was mad and asked what i expected him to do, she only has the chicken pox.

I would still take a little one to the docs if they caught it though.
