Chicken Pox

My 3 year old has chicken pox, I assume it’s inevitable that my 11 month old is going to catch it.. when should I expect him to come out in spots? What’s the average time from one sibling passing it to the other?

With my friends kids it was a couple of weeks x

Pox mousse is amazing. Dry them up really quickly. I've heard it can be like 2 weeks for passing on etc. But also heard of siblings having it at the same time. X

Incubation period is 7-10 days, so spots could appear at any point. However, mine have never caught it from each other, always in turn, and years apart lol. X

My 1 yr old caught it from my 3 yr old exactly 2 wks from when my 3 yr old got spots. X

Thanks everyone! My son’s 1st birthday is 2 weeks today so I was hoping he’d avoid it for his birthday but it sounds unlikely!🥲 x

Hey my 10 month old caught it off my 3 year old last month. He started showing spots 10 days after my 3 year old started showing spots xx
