Hi all just looking for some advice. We realised my 8 yr old has chicken pox this morning. He had it 18 months ago mildly and has now got it again. Mildly as of yet. I have a 14 week old baby at home and I'm concerned that she will get it. She was having cuddles with him just yesterday and shared a bath together. Shes had her first two vaccinations and is still breastfed I dont know if this will make a difference?
Thanks

If she's BF, she's unlikely to have a bad case of it anyway. I was BFing my DS when he caught it at 12 months and had such a milks case, he was barely bothered by it.

Try not to worry Smile

You may find that your little one catches it again in future - apparently babies don't build the immunity that most people do once they've had it once

If baby does get it, it'll likely be a mild case, my DD caught it at 8 months and it bother her at all
