Chicken pox

my friend was meant to see me the other week but she found out the following day that her niece had the pox so to air caution we cancelled - my little boy was 4wks at the time xx

I'd put it off to be safe as it's most contagious before the spots come out. X

I wouldn't risk it, keep your baby safe

@Deb the spots came out today while she had him x

@Becky do you know how long I need to wait? It’s just because she looks after him while I work so going to need to have some time off!

@hannah it’s hard to know what to do isn’t it! Thank you

I'm really not sure hun, it's rare that your mums going to get it if she's had them before but I'm not sure I'd want to take that risk. I'd probably wait 5-7 days to make sure she doesn't come out in them

My midwife said if the person visiting had already had it then it was fine

My daughter got chicken pox when my newborn was 1 week old, he didn’t catch it.

I was told it can take up to 15 days from the point of mixing with someone that has chicken pox for symptoms to show
