how was your baby when they got chicken pox?
i’ve just seen some spots and i’m sure they’re chicken pox. her brother had it a couple of weeks ago…
i’m really worried how she’s going to be and if she’ll feel unwell shes only 1 so can’t tell me what she needs or how she’s feeling 😭
was your baby okay when they had it? she’s so little compared to him if she gets it as bad as he did she’ll feel awful

My little girl was 9 months when she got chicken pox (brought home from nursery by her big brother!). She had quite a lot of spots but they didn’t seem to bother her, expect the ones behind her ears and on her scalp which were really itchy, particularly at night which unsettled her sleeping for about a week. We used Virasoothe gel on her body but there wasn’t much we could do for her scalp so we just had to get through it! Hopefully your little one doesn’t get it too bad x

My daughter had it at 11 months. Wasn’t too bad, she was covered in spots but we used poxclin mousse, had daily oat baths, and gave calpol and piriton to help with the itching. I reckon we had 2-3 nights of really bad sleep and 2 days of her being upset/clingy, and that was it really. Lots of fluids and cuddles.
