Picture on my profile. Do you think it's chickenpox?

I am trying to convince myself that it's just bites or a heat rash.....

Clingy for last couple of days with a slight temperature. Noticed these spots under his arm this evening.

What do you think?

Mawbroon - my little grub has developed chicken pox! A mild version so far so he's still a happy chappy. Spots are mostly on his back. Haven't been to the docs, as it's more obvious what he's got. They don't look so much like bites now (sorry cat - you don't have fleas).

My six month old hasn't got any more signs. She was sick once and she had a temp for two days. I wonder is she's been fighting the pox too? She's solely breast fed and i've had the pox when i was younger, so maybe that has helped her not get spotty...yet?

I wonder if your boy has chicken pox then? What do you think? From what i've read, it can come in mild or sever forms, with little or lots of spots.

My very scientific verdict, based on nothing but mother's instinct is that yes, he has chicken pox. He was very very clingy today and had a bit of a temperature. He has been breastfeeding loads and loads and I would like to convince myself that this has really helped to keep it mild.
