Chicken pox in young siblings

[Sorshaok]

I have a 2 and a half year old with chicken pox and a 3 week old baby without.

I have spoken to 111 and my GP who say they can't offer anything for my 3 week old as she has no symptoms.

Has anyone experienced chicken pox in a baby so young?

My husband has gone back to work and I obviously can't split my time between my children, so it's really hard to minimise contact. My son (2 year old) is on day 4 of chicken pox.

Any advise and experiences are appreciated.

Many thanks!

DD was a week old when DS got chicken pox and she didnt catch them. Midwife said she probably still has some immunity from me. She did catch them when she was around 12months from nursery but they barely affected her

DS caught them from DD when he was 2 weeks old. It was a really mild case and he wasn’t bothered in the least.
