Chicken pox and new babies!

Help - found out my DD may have been exposed to chicken pox and she hasn't had it (is 4). I am expecting a baby any day now and panicking in case she gets it.

I have had it and plan to breastfeed anyway. Am I right in thinking baby would probably be immune?

I am seeing MW on Tuesday so can check but can anyone throw any light on this? Thanks!

Your baby will have antibodies from you and will be protected for quite sometime. (it is unusual for under one year olds to get CP)
