helloo.. just after some general advice really ...

i looked after my friends little boy for the day on friday.. hes 20months and my daughter is 2.5. they played together etc all day... he has now come out with chicken pox today .. and im wondering a) what the likelyhood is that my dd might get them (which im not overly worried about obviously i dont want her to be ill but its supposed to be better for her now than later right?) and b) my oh has never had them... is it worse for adult men???

thanks for any replies

    hi, both my 2 are getting over them too, its prob likely ur lo will get them, my dd2 caught them off dd1 exactky 2weeks after dd1's spots came out, so it may be another 2 weeks before ur lo catches them, also ur oh will prob catch it if ur lo does get it, and apparantly the older u r the worse it is but not sure how true that is. we used bicarb of soda in the bath, it really helped ease the itching. xxx
