Urgent - Question Re chicken pox
Hi all
Need my question answering please....
I an entertaining some friends at the weekend. One of the girls' granddaughter has chicken pox (just got it, not scabbed over yet)..... her granddaughter lives with her so they are in regular contact. my friend has already had chicken pox in her youth. can i let her be in contact with my 7 week old son?
I know its possible for my friend to get shingles and also for us to catch it......
I think I answered my own question, I should call it off right?
Any views appreciated

Having said that I dont wont him poorly over christmas... I think i will have to celebrate with them in the new year instead!
i just spoke to my mum and apparently i never got chicken pox.... or any other childhood diseases!!!
thanks all
You have done the right thing to postpone.My lo got chicken pox at 6 months and she was so much more poorly than her brother who was six at the time.
From my experience I think they are better getting it a bit older I think 6 is the ideal age as my son could just sick curled up on the sofa and watch tv and not stratch too much.
My daughter was sick she had a high temp and was complety covererd in the pox and scratched at it all the time.I was really worried she would scar her face because of it.
