Chicken pox

My lo is 1 and has never had pox. His father does not live with us and has another son. His boy is 7 and has came out in chicken pox today. His father is due to come over tonight and have him all day Thursday (in the house where the child with pox stays) he sleeps in the same bed as the child with pox. I am in two minds to allow him to come over and have him on Thursday. Cant decide if im a member of the “its better to get it earlier” club or not.

It’s so hard because as much as you don’t want your son to have it and be poorly my partner is 23 and has never had it and now it can potentially be a much greater risk if he does catch it so I’m with you in the can’t decide club😩.. xx

Yes exactly my issue! Whats also putting me off is i had it 2 times as a child and was terrible with it! So the thought of him being like that kills me. But then as you said its so much scarier when hes a adult xx

I would let him have LO, it keeps going round my LO nursery and I’m in the mind of ‘if gets it at least it’s over and done with’

@Hollie yesss thats the decision i landed on. So far feeling okay about it hahha xx

Don’t know if you are aware but there is a chicken pox vaccine

I would definitely let him get it. My son had it just before he turned 2 and I had only just had my baby (she was 3 weeks old). I never stopped my son from touching her or anything however she never had it. I wish she had though so it would be over and done with x
