dc1 has chicken pox, will 3mo dd catch it?

That's all really.

Dd is breastfeed if that makes a difference. I'm trying to keep her away from dc1 but it will be impossible to keep it up for a whole week.
Thanks

My DD1 had chickenpox when DD2 must have been a few months old but still being breastfed (can't remember exactly now) and DD2 didn't catch it. But then, neither did I, and I didn't catch it from DS when he had it. Apparently I don't have immunity either as I have been tested so not sure how that works unless I actually do have immunity and they cocked up the test somehow...

Sorry, probably no help to you at all, my family's medical mysteries...

There's a strong possibility that she will, sorry.

When my DS had chicken pox at 2.5, my second DS caught it too at one week old, even though I was breastfeeding him. Luckily, it was extremely mild, and now 7, he has never caught it again, even when it was doing the rounds at nursery.

Baby should have some immunity from you at 3 months. May still get it but hopefully a mild dose.
