Chicken Pox ....

UGH....the horrible phrase!

The daycare that DS#2 is at all day, and DS#1 goes to for after care has had at least 1 case of Chicken Pox.  I REALLY hope DS#2 doesn't get CP....he's not even 9months old yet!

I did tell H yesterday though, that if DS#2 gets CP, we will go ahead and expose DS#1 ...may as well hurry up and get it out of the house.  That was 1 thing I agree with my mom on.  She had 5 kids, so once 1 of us got it, she exposed the other 4 to it, just to hurry up and get it out of the house.  ....We will not however expose DS#2 if DS#1 gets it.  I realize this will be a difficult task since DS#2 loves his big brother ...but I don't think DS#2 needs it this early

*fingers crossed* the boys don't get it!

    Has DS #1 been vaccinated yet?  I thought that vaccine was given at 12 months?  If so, he should be fine, but I would be midly concerned about DS #2 contracting it.

    both boys are up to date on their vaccinations.

    I believe DS#2 had vaccinations for chicken pox.

    DS#1 is at an ideal age, but DS#2 is still young.

    I did some reading, most babies won't get it as babies if their mothers have already had chicken pox (which is good)...but once they are 1, they are "fair game"

    By the time your DS#1 shows pox- it is too late.  DS#2 will have alrady been exposed- plus he has spent more of the time at daycare.

    I don't agree with exposing kids on purpose- chicken pox can be serious and there can be some nasty side effects.

    Yeah, we are pretty certain, if he gets it, it'll be DS#2 that brings it home Sad

    Fingers crossed the boys don't get it.  ..I did do some reading on early symptoms - but I just read the early symptoms / what to watch for, my anxiety level was rising just by reading that.   I'm so not ready for any "major" sickness

    I will keep my fingers crossed for you.  Like I said I am sure your DS1 is fine since he is up to date on his vaccinations...it is DS2 I would be concerned about...but since you BF and have had chicken pox you are doing all you can!  Good Luck!

    I woke up on my 3rd birthday with chicken pox.  10 days later my 6 year old sister, and 6 month old brother got it as well.  My mom said it was rough, but at least it was over and done with.  Now having a LO, I couldn't imagine having a baby with chicken pox!  Poor baby.  Hope they are able to avoid it!
