Quiet on Chickenpox

2018-03-30 13:24:50
My son is 5 months old. My maid who gives him a massage daily also visits another house where the child had now been diagnosed with chicken pox. She however goes there only AFTER my son's massage and comes to my house again the next day. Should I be worrying about my son getting infected here?

Very rare chances  that  ur baby  will get  infected  with  chickenpox Bcz  maternal  antibody  will protect  baby  upto  9months  But  if  u r  so  worried  about ur  baby. Then  do  one  thing  Say  maid   no  to  do  massage  and  all  for  at  least  10 days
