Chicken pox at 7 months old

HeatherMarie · February 5th, 2004, 04:10 PM

We just found out today that Krystian has the chicken pox. Has anyone else's baby had them this young? How did it go? Do they have scars? I never had them so I don't know much about them.

I think this is probably a good age to get them. She's young enough that she will be uncomfortable but probably won't scratch. They don't quite get the connection between itching and scratching.

I had them really bad when I was in 4th grade and I have a couple scars. But not many. She probably won't have any.

Best of luck to you. Did your dr recommend any sort of bath stuff that would help with the itching?

My niece had them at 2 months old and has no scars. Like Brooke said, it's probably a good age to get them.
