Hello
I am going to visit my sister and her daughter in seven days time, however, today, her little one has developed Chicken pox. We may be in the clear, but it may be possible that her daughter's spots are still weeping and not crusted over by the time we are due to go; which would mean April would be prone to catching it.
Has anyone got experience of a young baby getting chicken pox? Is it better she get it now, or should I wait a bit longer and hold off our visit? I have heard that babies under one do not get immunity from an infection and they can get it again Is that a load of bunk?
Any advice would be great as we are not sure what to do.
