Chicken Pox.. not nice..

[sana]

Oh! that's so worrying! I hope your son's chicken pox end soon. My nephew was less than 4months old and he had German measles! I have never had them in my life. I might have them when I grow up which is gonna be terrible...

Prayers for your son. And a little thingy DON'T LET HIM SCRATCH THE POX!!! Their really itchy but they can burst and a mark remains behind, like the one on my nose and on the side of my face. I bursted them...

I had chicken pox myself when Valentine was 2 months old. I was breastfeeding, and she had nothing!! Incubation time is of at least 10 days, so your baby was probably exposed already, before you even know it. I was worried too for Valentine due to her young age, but the doctor told me it would probably not but strong for her. And the time she develops the symptoms, I made enough antibodies, so she was fully protected! So, try not to worry too much
Doc told me she would protected perhaps for one year, not all life. Indeed, she had it at 2, at the daycare.
Afterwards, I was scared that I could have had it during pregnancy!...

I hope it's going smooth for your son.

Oh my, CP are not fun. I hope the baby does not get it.

I had them as a kid and will have to post the pic of me with calamine lotion all over my face.

My daughter got the pox first when she was probably about 2 and then my son got them from her.

Epsom salts bath is wonderful! Also, there is an oatmeal bath you can get at the pharmacy.

Make sure you take photos. Your kids will love you when they are adults.

he´s doing ok actually.. not so many "spots".. lol.. maybe like 5-6 on the face.. the rest are mostly on the body.. but still not that many.. he hasn´t had a fever and the lotions seems to help although he hasn´t been that itchy..

I do hope baby is protected as said by doc and your inputs as well as internet research.. lol.. for at least 3-6 months while breastfeeding and by me already having them..

they still are separated just in case..

thank you for your concern

I sure hope your wee girl does not catch them, they are bad enough when it is your toddler, my girl did not get them until she was 13 and she had been exposed to them at pre-school, was even in the same car ,and in close contact,as a person who later came down with them, so here's hoping.

Yes there is a vaccine nowadays, and has been for some time now.

You could give your son an antihistimane to take ,by liquid form, this really helps the itch, i did it for my daughter and it helped so much, luckily she did not scar much at all,and they were quite bad.

Fingers and all paws crossed here that Ariel does not get them, thinking of you all, hope your lil fella is doing ok and will soon be over them and feeling much better too.
